HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.24245 of 2007 Date: June 15, 2010 Between: G. Babu, S/o.Enkulu, 37 years, Mazdoor, Office of the Superintending Engineer (O&M), KTPS (B) Staton, Paloncha, Khammam District … Petitioner And The A.P. Power Generation Corporation Limited, Vidyutsoudha, Somajiguda, Hyderabad – 82, represented by its Managing Direcor, and another … Respondents Order: In this writ petition, the petitioner has questioned Memo No.CE/O&M/KTPS/ADM-C/C2/D.No.462/07, dated 31-08- 2007, issued by the second respondent, Chief Engineer, O&M, KTPS, Paloncha, dismissing him from service on the proven misconduct in the disciplinary proceedings initiated against him. Though the writ petition is filed questioning the said memo, during the course of arguments, it is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that, as against the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal dated 02-03-2009 before the first respondent, Managing Director, A.P. Genco., as per the disciplinary and appeal regulations applicable to the employees of the respondents-company. It is stated that in view of the pendency of the writ petition, the said appeal is not being taken up and thus a request is made for disposal of the writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to consider the appeal filed by the petitioner. Learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents does not also dispute filing of the appeal by the petitioner against the impugned memo. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of the writ petition directing the first respondent/appellate authority to pass appropriate orders on the appeal dated 02-03-2009, which is stated to have been filed by the petitioner, challenging the impugned memo, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within eight weeks from the date of receipt of this order. No order as to costs. ____________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J June 15, 2010 MRR
