HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.5570 of 2011 Date : 7-3-2011 Between : Smt.U.Kalamma w/o.Mutyalu .. Petitioner And Principal Secretary to Government of A.P., Panchayat Raj and Rural Development (PTS.II) Department, Hyderabad and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri P.Prabhakar Reddy Counsel for respondents : A.G.P. for Panchayat Raj The Court made the following : ORDER: The grievance of the writ petitioner in this Writ Petition is that respondent No.1 has not been disposing of her stay application filed in appeal against order No.1150/2008- B1(PTS), dated 7-1-2011 of respondent No.2. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj, on instructions, submitted that respondent No.1 has called for the record from respondent No.2 and that the petitioner’s stay application will be disposed of as early as possible. In my opinion, respondent No.1 is not justified in keeping the stay application of the petitioner pending on the ground that the record from respondent No.2 is awaited. The very purpose of filing a stay application is to seek urgent orders and respondent No.1 by delaying the passing of orders, cannot frustrate this purpose. Respondent No.1 is therefore directed to dispose of the petitioner’s stay application irrespective of whether he gets record from respondent No.2 or not within one week from today. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. ____________________ C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy.,J Date : 7-3-2011 Note : Furnish copy in (3) days. AM
