The State Election Commission, A.P., rep. by its Secretary, 3rd Floor, Buddhabhavan, Secunderabad, and others. …....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the petitioner: Sri Kummathi Venkatesulu Counsel for the respondents: G.P. for Revenue & Sri V.V. Prabhakar Rao The Court made the following. ORDER: The short grievance of the petitioner is that the 3rd respondent has not disposed of the appeal said to have been filed by her against the orders of the 4th respondent rejecting her nomination for the post of MPTC Benikal, Kanekal Mandal, Ananthapur District. It is stated that the petitioner filed nomination on 17.06.2006 to contest for the post of MPTC Benikal. The 4th respondent rejected the nomination on the ground that the petitioner was under-aged. An appeal is stated to have been filed by her before the 3rd respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer, Dharmavaram, Ananthapur District on 19.06.2006. As the said appeal has been kept pending, this writ petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the 3rd respondent in not passing any orders on the said appeal, as illegal. There does not appear to be any dispute that the petitioner has preferred an appeal as stated above. That being so, it is obligatory on the part of the 3rd respondent to consider the same and pass appropriate orders within a considerable time. Having regard to the relief sought for, the 3rd respondent is directed to dispose of the appeal, if not already disposed of, as early as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is disposed of as above. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 15th December, 2010 Js.
