APPELLANT AND 1 A.P.S.R.T.C., rep by its Chairman & Managing Director Musheerabad, Hyderabad. 2 The Regional Manager, A.P.S.R.T.C., Ranga Reddy Region, Imlibun Station, Hyderabad-12. .....RESPONDENT(S) Counsel for the Appellant:MR.P.GOVINDA RAJULU Counsel for the Respondent No.: MR.K.HARINATH The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL NO.1374 OF 2002 JUDGMENT: (Per BPR,J) Heard Sri P,Govinda Rajulu, learned counsel for the appellant and Sri K.Madhava Reddy, learned standing counsel for the respondent Corporation. Aggrieved by the non-consideration of his review application filed on 27.03.2002 before the second respondent-Regional Manager, APSRTC, Ranga Reddy Region, Imlibun Station, Hyderabad, the appellant/petitioner filed Writ Petition No.11520 of 2002 before this Court seeking a direction to the second respondent herein to consider and pass appropriate orders thereon. The learned single Judge, without going into the merits of the case, dismissed the writ petition holding that there cannot be any direction to consider the review petition filed by the petitioner. Hence, this appeal. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the view that as the appellant/petitioner’s review application is said to be still pending consideration, there is no justification for not considering the same and passing orders thereon. All the more so, when the Regulations permit ‘review’ of the order. Without going into the merits of the case, the writ appeal is disposed of directing the second respondent herein to consider and pass orders upon the review application purported to have been filed on 27.03.2002, after giving notice and opportunity to the appellant/petitioner herein. The appellant/petitioner is also permitted to file one more copy of his review application before the second respondent to avoid further delay in the matter. The entire exercise shall be completed within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. _____________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, J. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 8th September, 2009.
