JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12979 of 2002 Between: Lankireddy Siva Reddy & another. … Petitioners AND The Government of India, rep., by its Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture, Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, New Delhi & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners : None This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12979 of 2002 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for the following substantive relief: “… Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue an appropriate writ, order or direction particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the respondents 1 to 3 in fixing the cut of date for finalizing the settlement of claims under one time settlement scheme as illegal, arbitrary and violative of principles of natural justice and consequently (a) direct them to extend the time for settling the claims of the petitioners under one time settlement scheme, (b) to set aside the E.P.Nos.4521/2001-02 and 4523/2001-02 (c) to direct the respondents 4 to 6 to receive the applications from the petitioners to avail the one time settlement scheme and consider the same.” On 11.02.2009, when the matter was called, no one appeared for the petitioners. Hence, the same was posted to today under the caption “for dismissal”. Even today, when the matter is called, no one appeared for the petitioners. It is therefore reasonable to presume that the petitioners are not interested in pursuing their cause in the writ petition. The writ petition is therefore dismissed for non-prosecution. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition for non- prosecution, WPMP.No.16127 of 2002 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is also dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 12.02.2009 ES
