THE HON’BLE MS.JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No.16307 of 2009 ORDER: This writ petition is filed assailing the order dated 14.7.2009 passed by the 1st respondent, whereunder, the petitioner herein was removed from service apart from directing recovery of a sum of Rs.2,62,500/-. The petitioner states that as against the impugned order dated 14.7.2009, he preferred an appeal before the Government of Andhra Pradesh along with an application for suspension of the order of removal. Alleging that the second respondent failed to consider his appeal, the present writ petition is filed invoking the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation Limited has brought to the notice of this Court that as against the impugned order of removal passed by the 1st respondent-Managing Director of the Corporation, an appeal lies to the Board of the Corporation, and therefore, the appeal said to have been preferred by the petitioner before the 2nd respondent-Government is not maintainable. The Regulations placed before this Court make it clear that against the order passed by the 1st respondent, an appeal lies to the Board. In the circumstances, the petitioner is granted liberty to prefer a fresh appeal before the Board of the Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation Limited along with an application for suspension of the impugned order of removal. If any such appeal is preferred, the appellate authority shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, on the interlocutory application as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of such an application. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. __________ G.ROHINI, J 10th August 2009 RAR THE HON’BLE MS.JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No.16307 of 2009 DATED : 10-08-2009
