HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.7010 of 2011 Date : 18-3-2011 Between : K.Ranganath s/o.K.P. Ramanaiah .. Petitioner And The District Collector, Anantapur, Anantapur District and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri Kuncham Maheswara Rao Counsel for respondent Nos.1 & 2 : A.G.P. for Civil Supplies Counsel for respondent No.3 : -- The Court made the following : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent No.1 in passing interim order in the revision petition filed by the petitioner against order dated 6-1-2011 of respondent No.2 as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard Sri Kuncham Maheswara Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies and perused the record. The petitioner was appointed as fair price shop dealer of Buchirajupalli, Obula Deva Cheruvu Mandal, Anantapur District on 10-12-2010 by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Penukonda. Respondent No.3, who was an unsuccessful applicant, filed an appeal before respondent No.2 who by order dated 6-1-2011 granted stay of the petitioner’s appointment. The petitioner filed a revision petition before respondent No.1 and also an application for stay along with the said revision petition. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No.1 has not been disposing of his stay application. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the opinion that as the appeal filed by respondent No.3 is pending before respondent No.2, it would be appropriate if the said appeal is disposed of in stead of directing respondent No.1 to dispose of the stay application or the revision petition as the scope of revision was confined only to legality or otherwise of the interim order passed by respondent No.2. In this view of the matter, respondent No.2 is directed to dispose of the appeal filed by respondent No.3 against order dated 10-12-2010 of the Revenue Divisional officer, Penukonda, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after giving notice to the petitioner and respondent No.3. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.8753/2011 is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________ C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy.,J Date : 18-3-2011 AM
