IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE TWENTY FOURTH DAY OF DECEMBER, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17596 of 1999 Between: D. Kumara Swamy … Petitioner AND The Girijan Cooperative Corporation Ltd., Rep., by its Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Chinna Waltair, Visakhapatnam & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri Y. Rama Rao This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17596 of 1999 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to set aside order dated 01.08.1997, whereby the petitioner was kept under suspension. Heard Sri Y. Rama Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. A perusal of the proceeding sheet shows that the disciplinary proceedings have not been stayed by this Court pending the writ petition. The learned counsel for the petitioner is unable to report on the present stage of the disciplinary proceedings. However, in the absence of stay of the disciplinary proceedings, it is reasonable to presume that the disciplinary proceedings would have got concluded by this time, as more than nine years elapsed from the initiation of the said proceedings. In view of the same, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration and the writ petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 24.12.2008 ES
