THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.25758 of 2011 Dated 22nd November, 2011 Between: Krushi Vidya Niketan Diploma in Education …Petitioner And The Govt. of A.P., rep.by its Principal Secretary, Minorities Welfare Deparment, Secretariat, Hyderabad and another …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri S.A.K.Mynoddin Counsel for respondent No.1: GP for Social Welfare The Court made the following: ORDER: At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside memo bearing No.5336/W.II/A2/2011-3, dated 09.08.2011, of respondent No.1, whereby it has rejected the petitioner’s application for grant of minority status certificate. At the hearing, it has come out that the petitioner has filed a review petition before respondent No.1, during the pendency of which, it has filed the present writ petition. As rightly contended by the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare, the writ petition itself is not maintainable when the petitioner availed the remedy of filing a review petition. Therefore, while declining to interfere with the impugned order, the petitioner is given liberty to pursue the review petition pending before respondent No.1. Respondent No.1 is, however, directed to dispose of the review petition, if not already done, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.Nos.31763 and 32964 of 2011 are disposed of as infructuous.
