IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE TWENTIETH DAY OF APRIL TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 8013 of 2009 Between: K.S.S.Rao S/o.Late Koteswara Rao R/o.H.No.187/1 HB Colony, Bhavanipura, Vijayawada, Krishna District. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The Depot Manager, A.P.S.R.T.C. Vijayawada -I Depot, Krishna District. 2 The Deputy Chief Traffic Manager, (Rural) A.P.S.R.T.C. Vijayawada, Krishna District. 3 Regional Manager, A.P.S.R.T.C. Vijayawada, Krishna District. ..RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner:None appeared Counsel for the Respondents : None appeared The Court made the following : O R D E R: This writ petition is filed for the following substantive relief: “For the reasons stated above, it is therefore prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue a writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus directing the third respondent herein to consider the review petition dated 10-12-1997 which was forwarded by the DM/Machilipatnam not considering the review petition even after acknowledging the reminders till this date is as illegal, unjust, contrary to law, violation of principles of justice.” At the hearing, neither of the counsel is present. However, from a perusal of the averments contained in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is evident that the petitioner’s review/revision petition said to have been filed on 10-12-1997 before respondent No.3 against order dated 06-01-1997 passed in appeal by respondent No.2, whereby he converted the order of removal into one of imposing of penalty of withholding of annual increments, is still pending without being disposed of. I do not find any justification for respondent No.3 to keep the said petition pending for more than 11 years. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.3 to pass appropriate orders on the review/revision petition filed by the petitioner, if it was not already disposed of, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.10496 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 20th April, 2009 vrn
