The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.37992 of 2012 Dated 10.09.2015 Between:

M/s.Foresites rep. by its Managing Partner Sri A.Surendra Prasad ... Petitioner and The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation, rep. by its Vice-Chairman & Managing Director, Hyderabad and another

...Respondents

Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.G.Ramakrishna Counsel for the respondents:Mr.N.Praveen Reddy for Mr.N.Vasudeva Reddy The Court made the following:

Order:

This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside proceeding No.MKTG/9(1)/2011-GHZ, dated 30-03-2011, of respondent No.2, whereby he has terminated the petitioner's contract for construction of an Unipole with advertisement rights for a period of five years at Koti Women's College

Bus Station, Hyderabad.

In Paragraph 17 of the affidavit, filed in support of the Writ Petition, the petitioner stated that against the impugned order of termination of its contract, it has filed an appeal/petition, dated 13-042011, before respondent No.1 and that as no action was taken on the said appeal/petition, it has filed the present Writ Petition.

At the hearing, the learned Counsel for both the parties are unable to state as to whether respondent No.1 has disposed of the petitioner's appeal/petition. Therefore, I find it appropriate that respondent No.1 takes a decision on the petitioner's appeal/petition, if the same has not already been done.

Accordingly, without adjudicating on the merits of the case, respondent No.1 is directed to dispose of the petitioner's appeal/petition, after giving an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner's representative within one month from the date of receipt of this order, if no order has been passed so far.

If an order has already been

passed, respondent No.1 shall furnish a copy of the same to the petitioner and in such event, the petitioner shall be free to avail appropriate remedy, if it feels aggrieved by such decision.

Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of.

As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.48182 of 2012, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) Dt: 10th September, 2015 LUR
