On receipt of the same, the 1st respondent shall consider and pass appropriate orders on the petitioner’s representation, in accordance with law, within a period of two (2) weeks, thereafter. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of.” 2. Today, when the matter came up for hearing, Sri Ganga Kumar Chakravartula, learned counsel for the respondents, furnished a copy of the speaking orders dated 12.11.2025, passed by respondent No.3, in pursuance to the order dated 30.10.2025 passed by this Court. 3. Admittedly, there has been a delay in issuing the speaking orders, as this Court, vide orders dated 03.08.2023, directed the petitioner to submit a fresh representation to the Registrar, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam i.e., respondent No.1, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of the order. The 1st respondent shall consider and pass appropriate orders on the representation in accordance with law within a period of two (2) weeks, thereafter. 4. It appears that different orders were passed by different Officers. Earlier, speaking orders were passed by the previous Officer on 19.10.2024. But however, the said orders were not in compliance with the orders passed by this Court. 4 5. This Court directed the present Officer to pass appropriate speaking orders on 30.10.2025, in pursuance of which, once again, the speaking orders were passed on 12.11.2025. 6. In view of the same, this Contempt Case is closed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to challenge the speaking orders dated 12.11.2025. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, in this Contempt Case shall stand closed. _________________________ JUSTICE V.SUJATHA 14.11.2025 MH 5 THE HONOURABLE SMT JUSTICE V.SUJATHA 14 CONTEMPT CASE NO:3363 OF 2024 14.11.2025 MH
