Sri Ramasanthi Theatre and others. ..... APPELLANTS AND 1 Government of A.P., rep., by its Secretary, Home, Secretariat, Hyderabad and another. .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SMT JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL NO :1176 of 2009 JUDGMENT: (per Hon’ble Smt Justice T. Meena Kumari) The present writ appeal has been filed against the interlocutory order passed by the learned single Judge in WPMP No.892 of 2009 in WP No.720 of 2009, dated 13.08.2009. The appellants herein are the writ petitioners. They filed the above writ petition seeking to declare the action of the 1st respondent in not enhancing the admission rate for the classes in the theatre as arbitrary and illegal and consequently, to set aside G.O.Ms.No.369 Home General A Department, dated 18.12.2008. In the above writ petition, the appellants filed the above WPMP seeking to direct the 2nd respondent to permit the theatres to run with the enhanced rates as per applications dated 17.1.2009 and 16.1.2009. The learned single Judge dismissed the above WPMP. Having aggrieved by the same, the present writ appeal has been filed by the appellants-writ petitioners. Heard the learned Counsel for the appellants and the learned Government Pleader and perused the material available on record. The order under appeal is a common order passed in interlocutory applications in a batch of writ petitions. In view of the pendency of the batch of writ petitions on the similar issue, we feel that it is not a fit case to express any opinion on the very merits of the case inasmuch as the opinion, if any expressed in the course of these interlocutory proceedings, may touch the merits of the batch of the writ petitions. In this view of the matter, we do not find any reason to interfere with the order under appeal. However, in view of the nature of controversy involved, Registry is directed to post the writ petition for final hearing as early as possible. Accordingly, the writ appeal is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ Justice T.Meena Kumari _____________________ Justice Sanjay Kumar Dated: 17th December, 2009 Nn THE HON'BLE SMT JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL NO :1176 of 2009 (Judgment of the Division Bench delivered by the Hon’ble Smt Justice T.
