PETITIONER AND The Commissioner of Endowments, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Dharmika Bhavan, Tilak Road, Boggulakunta, Hyderabad and another .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 18787 OF 2010 ORDER : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the 1st respondent-The Commissioner of Endowments, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad in appointing the 2nd respondent as an Executive Officer to the petitioner-institution is arbitrary, illegal and without jurisdiction. Though various contentions have been addressed touching upon the merits of the case, having regard to the alternative remedy available under Section 93 of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987 (for short, ‘the Act’), I am of the opinion that the present writ petition, without exhausting such an efficacious alternative statutory remedy, cannot be maintained under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the alternative remedy available under the Act. No costs. ____________ G.
