It is the case of the petitioner that in the year 1994, he was transferred from Bharathnagar to Puttuluru PACS. However, the said transfer was cancelled as the other side approached this Court and obtained stay. In the meanwhile, one K.Nageswara Rao was promoted as Secretary of the 3rd respondent-Society. Therefore, the petitioner was not permitted to joint duty. However, he approached the competent authority by submitting a representation for issuance of necessary directions to the 3rd respondent-Society. Basing on his representation, the District Cooperative Oﬃcer, Tenali, vide proceedings dated 17.3.1997 directed the 3rd respondent to admit the petitioner as Additional Secretary and directed to submit a compliance report thereof. For non-compliance of the said directions, the petitioner approached this Court and ﬁled WP No.9495 of 1997. This Court, while admitting the said writ petition on 2.5.1997, directed the 3rd respondent to comply with the orders of the District Cooperative Oﬃcer, Tenali. When the orders were not complied with, CC No.1304 of 1998 was ﬁled. Thereafter, an application was filed by the respondents seeking review of the said orders in the writ petition. On 5.4.1999, the Review application as well as the contempt case were disposed of directing the District Collector, Guntur, to consider the case of allotment of Additional Secretary and also payment of salary for the subsequent period and decide the case in accordance with law. The 1st respondent vide his proceedings dated 8.5.1999 directed the 3rd respondent-Society to continue the petitioner as Secretary and pay salary from Bharath Nagar PACS. Subsequently, the said order was modiﬁed and the petitioner was allotted to Puttuluru PACS, Guntur and the 3rd respondent was directed to pay his salary up to 25.7.1997. On 25.08.1999, the petitioner was relieved, and joined at Puttuluru, PACS on 26.08.1999. According to the petitioner, as a matter of right, he is entitled for salary from 26.7.1997 to 25.8.1999, but, in spite of making several representations, his case was not considered. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondents are directed to dispose of the representation purported to have been made by the petitioner on 29.9.2006 and dispose of the same, as per law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner.
