IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE ELEVENTH DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4740 of 2009 Between: Contractor Mastan S/o.C. Abdul Rahim Saheb R/o.D.No.75, Ward No.17, Aluru Road, Adoni, Kurnool District. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Anti Corruption Bureau, Kurnool District. 2 The Inspector, Anti Corruption Bureau, Kurnool. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.S.V.RAMANA FOR MR.O.MANOHER REDDY Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1and 2: MR.V.RAVI KIRAN RAO (SC & SPL.PP FOR ACB) The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent No.1 in disposing of representation dated 27.12.2007 as illegal and arbitrary. Heard Sri S.V.Ramana, learned counsel representing Sri O.Manoher Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri V.Ravi Kiran Rao, learned Standing Counsel for ACB. On 06.10.2007 a raid was conducted on the working place of the petitioner and cash to an extent of Rs.68,880/- was seized from him. His grievance is that he made a representation on 27.12.2007 to respondent No.1 to return the cash, but no order has been passed as yet. At the hearing Sri V.Ravi Kiran Rao, learned Standing Counsel for ACB submitted that the petitioner failed to implead the State Government, which is the competent authority to deal with the request of the petitioner. In my considered view, the relief claimed in this writ petition is wholly innocuous. The petitioner wants his representation made to respondent No.1 to be disposed of. Therefore, it is upto respondent No.1 to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner. This would necessarily mean that if respondent No.1 is not competent to return the cash, he is entitled to state the same in his order to be passed on the petitioner’s representation. The writ petition is therefore disposed of with a direction to respondent No.1 to dispose of the representation dated 27.12.2007 submitted by the petitioner. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.6221 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 11.06.2009 va
