The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: (per The Honourable Sri Devinder Gupta, the Chief Justice) Writ Petition was filed as Public Interest Litigation by the petitioner with a prayer to declare the action of the respondents in permitting the contractors to unauthorisedly collect parking fees etc. In fact, petitioner says that in earlier Writ petition opportunity was given to him to bring to the notice of the Commissioner the illegality, if any, committed by the contractors, who were permitted to charge parking fees. Representation said to have been submitted by the petitioner to the Police Commissioner is not part of the record. Contractors against whom allegations are made are also not made parties. Petitioner further submits that during the pendency of the Writ Petition, State Government has come forward with some other scheme of collecting municipal parking charges. Having gone through the averments made in the Writ Petition, we find that it is not happily worded and even the allegations are general in nature without impleading concerned parties. Therefore, with leave and liberty granted to the petitioner to file a comprehensive petition on specific issue impleading appropriate parties, we dismiss this Writ Petition. No costs. ______________________ DEVINDER GUPTA, C.J. 21.9.2004. ________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. VR To 1. The Secretary to Government of Andhra Pradesh, Municipal Administration Department, A.P.
