Common order: The question that arises for consideration in all these writ petitions are one and the same, therefore, the same may be disposed of by a common order. It is stated by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners that aggrieved by the order dated 7-3-2005 passed by the 2nd respondent, which is impugned in all these writ petitions, the petitioners preferred appeal to the Chairman and Managing Director of A.P.E.P.D.C.L on 30-4-2005. They have also made an application on 26-12-2005 seeking suspension of the order dated 7-3-2005. But the appellant authority, so far, has not considered either the suspension petition or the main appeal. After hearing both the counsel, I deem it appropriate to direct the appellate authority to dispose of the said appeal as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petitions are accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ N.V. RAMANA, J 4th January, 2007 GRR/NSR
