RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.25648 of 2008 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development and at their request the writ petition is taken up for final disposal. In this writ petition, the petitioner’s grievance is that against the orders of termination dated 04.11.2008 passed by the second respondent- Mandal Parishad Development Officer, Jami Mandal, Vizianagaram District, he filed an appeal before the first respondent- the District Programme Officer and Project Director, Water Management Authority under Jatiya Grameena Upadhi Hami Pathakam, Vizianagaram, but so far no orders are passed either in the appeal or in the interlocutory application. Hence, this writ petition. The learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj submits that since the petitioner has already filed an appeal against the termination orders and the same is pending before the first respondent, instead of this Court going into the merits of the matter, the first respondent may be directed to dispose of the appeal itself, for which course of action, the learned counsel for the petitioner has also agreed. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
