This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner assailing the order passed by the Government in an Appeal presented by her questioning the proceedings, dated 1-2-2008 issued by the Collector, Mahabubnagar whereby and where under the caste certificate obtained by the petitioner came to be cancelled. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the appellate authority without exercising jurisdiction properly proceeded to dismiss the said application. A further submission has been made that the petitioner is seeking admission in Post Graduation Course and if the disposal of the appeal is delayed, there is every likelihood of the petitioner missing the chance of securing a seat in Post Graduation. 3. Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for social welfare appearing for the Respondents. 4. It is a matter of record, that the petitioner filed an appeal before the Government challenging the order passed by the District Collector under Proceedings dated 1-2-2008. He also moved stay application before the Government and the said stay application was ended in dismissal. In all fairness, the appeal presented by the petitioner is required to be expedited, in view of the admission to post graduation course is likely to be scheduled in a short time. 5. In that view of the matter, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the Government-second Respondent to dispose of the appeal presented by the petitioner within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. _____________________________ Justice B.Seshasayana Reddy 10th June, 2008. KM THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 10700 OF 2008 10th June, 2008.
