IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH: AT HYDERABAD Monday this the 08th day of November, 2010 Writ Petition No.27663 of 2008 Between Prathipati Pulla Rao … Petitioner and The Principal Secretary to Government, Home Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and 3 others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU Writ Petition No.27663 of 2008 Order: The writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not providing gunmen to the petitioner as arbitrary and illegal and violative of Articles 14, 21 and 300A of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents to provide gunmen to the petitioner forthwith. 2. There is no necessity of going into all the details. 3. The 4th respondent filed a detailed counter on behalf of the respondents stating that personal security of the petitioner was withdrawn as there was no threat to his life from any quarter neither from the political rivals nor from the extremists. Hence, it is not correct to say that the security was withdrawn since he lost the election. In fact, when the petitioner filed W.P.No.25935 of 2007, earlier, on 17-01- 2008 the same was disposed of directing the petitioner to make a representation seeking security to the Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence), Hyderabad through the Superintendent of Police, Guntur. If any representation is made, the same shall be forwarded by the Superintendent of Police, Guntur to the Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence), Hyderabad for placing the same before the Security Review Committee. The representation filed on 01-3-2008 of the petitioner was received through the Superintendent of Police, Guntur and it was reviewed by the Security Review Committee in its meeting held on 27-6-2008 and 28-6-2008 and the Committee rejected to provide security since the petitioner has no threat from the extremists. 4. Under those circumstances, nothing survives in the writ petition for adjudication. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. No order as to costs. However, this will not preclude the respondents from considering review of the threat perception report against the petitioner on any application filed by him in future. _______________________ JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU 08th November, 2010.
