THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI Writ Petition No. 19388 of 2010 Dated: 06.08.2010 Between: D.Ramesh, Nellore. … Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and 3 others. … Respondents THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 19388 of 2010 O R D E R : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the proceedings of the 2nd respondent dated 27.07.2010 whereunder the petitioner’s caste certificate as Samban (Scheduled Caste) was cancelled is arbitrary and illegal. It is not disputed before this Court that against the said order, an appeal lies before the 1st respondent and as a matter of fact, the petitioner has already preferred an appeal on 04.08.2010 along with an application for stay of the proceedings of the 2nd respondent. It is stated that though the 1st respondent received the appeal, the application for grant of stay has not been considered. In the meanwhile, as the services of the petitioner are likely to be terminated on the basis of the 2nd respondent’s order dated 27.07.2010, the present writ petition is filed. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, and taking note of the fact that the petitioner’s statutory appeal is pending before the 1st respondent, I deem it appropriate to protect the interest of the petitioner till the statutory appeal is decided on merits. Accordingly, without going into the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the appeal pending on its file against the order of the 2nd respondent dated 27.07.2010 following due process of law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. Till such time, the impugned order dated 27.07.2010 shall remain suspended. No costs. _____________ G.ROHINI,J Date: 06.08.2010 KLP
