THE HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20745 of 2007 Date: 21.04.2008 Between: Sri Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures … Petitioner AND Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corpn., Ltd., Rep by Managing Director, Hyderabad. … Respondent Counsel for the petitioner : Sri V.Krishna Mohan. Counsel for respondent : Sri A.K.Narsimha Standing Counsel HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20745 of 2007 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondents in allotting the land for the petitioner’s proposed multiplex and shopping mall project at Tirupathi either at the promised place or such other place suitable to the project and in not disposing of the petitioner’s representation dated 7.7.2007, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, Sri A.K.Narsimha Rao, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent submitted that after filing of the writ petition, the respondent paid back the principal amount of Rs.20 lakhs by way of a Demand Draft under receipt dated 6.11.2007 to the petitioner. He passed on a copy of the same. Sri Krishna Mohan, learned counsel for the petitioner did not dispute this fact. But he however, stated that on account of non-allotment of site, the petitioner suffered damages and hence, he is entitled to recover interest and suitable compensation. Since, the issue relating to payment of interest and compensation is not the subject matter of this writ petition, and at any rate, the said dispute cannot be entertained and adjudicated by this Court while exercising jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, I am not inclined to pass any orders in respect of the claim of the petitioner in this regard. However, liberty is given to the petitioner to approach the Court of competent jurisdiction for the said relief. In the event, any such claim is made before the civil court it shall dispose of the same in accordance with law. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.26887 & 26888 of 2007 filed by the petitioner seeking interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:21.04.2008 mdaa
