THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7925 of 2001 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the State through Forest Range Officer, Nizamabad, against the order of the District Judge, Nizamabad in C.M.A.No.4 of 1998, wherein the learned Judge reversed the order of the District Forest Officer – cum – Authorised Officer, Nizamabad in proceedings No.4502/N7/97. The learned District Judge held that there was no material on record to show that the respondent had knowledge of his vehicle being used for commission of alleged offences as the case against him was of his lorry being used for transporting illegal timber from forest. The order of the District Judge was passed on 31.07.2000 and the present writ petition is filed in the year 2001. There is no material to show that any stay was granted. However, there is an order of this Court on 24.04.2001 saying pending further orders, the bank guarantee issued by the respondent herein need not be released. There is no material to show that the above bank guarantee has been extended from time to time since 2001 onwards. Since 2001, the respondent in this writ petition, the appellant in C.M.A. is not at all served. In the circumstances, no purpose can be served by keeping writ petition still pending. Hence, the same is dismissed for non-service of respondent for the last 10 years. No order as to costs. ______________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J. 25th November 2010, Rns
