Counsel for the Petitioner : MR.P.V.SANJAY KUMAR Counsel for the Respondents No.1 & 2 : G.P. FOR SOCIAL WELFARE Counsel for the Respondent No.3 : Counsel for the Respondent No.4 : G.P. FOR REVENUE. Counsel for the Respondent No.5 : Counsel for the Respondent No.6 : MR.S.S.PRASAD The Court made the following : ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare. The case of the petitioner in brief is that he secured seat in B.E. (Computer Science) under BC-A reservation category in 5th respondent – College, and on an objection raised by the Principal of the College, he faced an enquiry with regard to the caste certificate issued to him and on the directions issued by this court in an earlier writ petition, he was permitted to attend the classes and write the examinations and he is presently studying II year. Ultimately, when the 4th respondent issued proceedings dated 16-12-2003 cancelling the caste certificate issued in his favour, the petitioner filed W.P.No.5440 of 2004, which was disposed of with a direction that the petitioner can approach the Government by filing an appeal against the order of the 4th respondent and with a further direction to the Government to dispose of the said appeal/stay application within one week from the date of receipt of the said appeal. The main grievance of the petitioner is that pursuant to the directions of this Court, though he filed an appeal as far back as on 8-4-2004 before the 1st respondent, neither the appeal has been disposed of nor any orders have been passed on the interlocutory application. Having regard to the fact that, as can be seen from the material papers filed along with the writ petition, the petitioner has filed an appeal before the 1st respondent on 8-4-2004, the 1st respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner under Section 7(2) of the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes (Regulation of Issue of Community) Certificates Act, 1993 and pass appropriate speaking orders expeditiously, within one week time. If he is unable to dispose of the same, pending disposal of the appeal, he may pass appropriate orders on the interlocutory application within a period of one week from today. The writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. No costs. ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTIION OFFICER. To 1.
