ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO. 9104 of 2003 ORDER: The petitioners herein, who are elected members of the Gangannapalem Grampanchayat, filed an appeal before the District Collector challenging the resolution dated 22-02-2003 passed by the Grampanchayat regarding shifting of Grampanchayat office from Gangannapalem to Komatinenivaripalem. Alleging that the respondents 1 and 2 failed to consider their appeal and no orders have been passed, this writ petition has been filed. A counter affidavit has been filed by the District Collector, Guntur stating that pursuant to the appeal presented by the petitioners, a detailed enquiry was conducted by the Extension Officer and a report dated 06-06-2003 was submitted. However, no further action could be taken since the matter is seized by this Court in this writ petition. As a matter of fact, no order has been passed by this Court at any point of time staying the proceedings before the respondents 1 and 2. Hence, the respondents ought to have taken further steps following due process of law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents 1 and 2 to dispose of the appeal pending on their file, if not already disposed of, as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _______________ G. ROHINI, J. Date:11-07-2007 KLP
