THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.26100 OF 1995 DATED:07.11.2006 BETWEEN: J.Pratap Reddy … Petitioner. And The Managing Director, A.P.Beverages Corporation Ltd., Shankar Bhavan, NSF Complex, Near Police Control Room, Hyderabad And others. … Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.26100 OF 1995 ORDER: The learned counsel for both the parties addressed their arguments. This writ petition is filed seeking the relief of a direction to dispose of representations/appeals pending before the first respondent and also questioning the validity of the order of second respondent on imposing punishment of reducing the pay scale from Rs.935/- to Rs.810/- following the departmental enquiry. In the counter affidavit filed by the General Manager of A.P. Beverages Corporation Limited the claim of the petitioner that he filed representation/appeal against the order imposing the punishment is denied. The learned counsel for the petitioner however, filed certain additional material papers along with W.P.M.P.No.28380 of 2006, which include a copy of representation/appeal dated 28.10.1995, which referred to the earlier representations/appeals dated 6.8.1994, 29.4.1995 and 9.10.1995. In the said appeal/representation dated 28.10.1995, the first respondent was requested to consider his appeal and dispose of the same. Confronted with this, Sri G.Manohar submitted that the representations would be treated as appeals and they will be considered and disposed of by the first respondent on merits. Since the remedy of statutory appeal is already availed by the petitioner, I am not inclined to adjudicate the writ petition on merits. The first respondent is directed to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, in any case not later than two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ______________ 07.11.2006. mdaa
