Counsel for Respondents 4 to 6: Mr.A.Jagannadha Rao. The Court made the following : ORAL JUDGMENT: (per The Honourable Sri Devinder Gupta, the Chief Justice) We have heard the learned counsel for the appellant, but, do not find any ground to interfere with the order passed by the learned Single Judge vacating the earlier interim order passed on 16.7.2004 and further making it clear that any result of the meeting shall be subject to further orders of this Court to be passed in the main Writ Petition. Learned Single Judge, in fact, had directed Writ Petition to be heard on 9.8.2004. It has not so far been heard. As a matter of fact, by the orders passed by the learned Single Judge, appellant’s rights have virtually been protected. Therefore, while dismissing the Appeal, we direct that Writ Petition No.12276 of 2004 be posted for hearing expeditiously, and, since the nature of controversy is as regards the interpretation of Section 148 of the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, we direct that the Writ Petition be posted before the Division Bench on 18.11.2004 along with Writ Petition No. 19672 of 2004. No costs. ___________________ DEVINDER GUPTA, C.J. 27.10.2004. ________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. VR. To 1.
