In this writ petition the petitioner seeks to declare the proceedings of the second respondent-District Panchayat Officer, Ananthapur in Roc.No.3421/2003-A1 (Pts), dated 12-9-2003, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner alleges that he is Sarpanch of Thumukunta village, Hindupur Mandal of Ananthaplur village. By the impugned proceedings, the second respondent withdrew cheque powers of the petitioner and against the said proceedings, he filed a revision petition before the first respondent on 16-3-2004. It is alleged that the first respondent has neither disposed of the revision nor granted any interim orders therein. Hence, the writ petition. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the fact that the revision petition filed by the petitioner is pending before the first respondent, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the first respondent to dispose of the revision petition filed by the petitioner on 16-3-2004 against the proceedings of the second respondent in Roc.No.3421/2003-A1, dated 12-9-2003, expeditiously within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, if not already disposed of.
