THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No. 15096 of 2003 Dated: 11.11.2010 Between: Munawar Hussain, Hyderabad. ..... PETITIONER AND Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and 3 others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No. 15096 of 2003 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the 1st respondent-Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh in permitting the 2nd respondent-The Rifle Association of Andhra Pradesh to use its shooting complex at Hyderabad University, Gachi Bowli, R.R. District is arbitrary and illegal. It is alleged in the writ petition that neither the 1st respondent nor the 2nd respondent made any effort to check whether the weapons carried in the shooting ranges were unloaded and whether any Officer was present to examine the licences of the weapons under the Arms Act, 1959. It is also alleged that no preliminary shooting safety measures were taken and no qualified Range Officer was appointed by the 1st respondent. Contending that no practice or competition should be allowed at the shooting complex within the premises of the Hyderabad University in the absence of the qualified Range Officers, the present writ petition has been filed. This Court on 20.01.2004 in W.P.M.P.No.18675 of 2003 passed an order as under: “Pending further orders, it is directed that the 2nd respondent shall use the shooting complex of Hyderabad University, Gachi Bowly, R.R. District strictly following the provisions of the Arms Act and the guidelines issued by the National Rifle Association of India and that the 1st respondent shall ensure compliance with the same.” Despite notice, no counter affidavit has been filed by any of the respondents. Having regard to the nature of the controversy involved, I am of the opinion that no further orders are necessary and it would be appropriate to dispose of the writ petition in terms of the interim order dated 20.01.2004. Accordingly, the interim order dated 20.01.2004 is made final and the writ petition is disposed of in terms of the said order. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 11.11.2010 KLP
