THE HON'BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO : 1986 of 2005 Date:18-10-2005 Between: The Conservator of Forests and ot hers …Appellants And V.Sudharani …Respondent THE HON'BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO : 1986 of 2005 J U D G M E N T (Per the Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, ACJ): Heard learned counsel for the parties. An order of seizure and confiscation was made by the Divisional Forest Officer, Srikakulam on 05-05-2005, which was challenged in Writ Petition No.14759 of 2005. That order was also appealed against. In the appeal, the appellate authority remanded the matter back to the Divisional Forest Officer by order dated 24-06- 2005. In the meantime, the writ petition was disposed of. After remand, the Divisional Forest Officer passed a fresh order on 11-08-2005, which is subject matter of another appeal before the appellate authority. Therefore, in our view, Writ Petition No.14759 of 2005 had become infructuous as the order dated 05-05-2005 had already been set aside by the appellate authority by remanding the matter. An appeal is pending against the order dated 11-08-2005, therefore, we do not want to comment on the merits of the case. However, the appellate authority is directed to dispose of the appeal expeditiously. With these observations, the writ appeal is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ (Bilal Nazki, ACJ) 18th October, 2005 ___________________ (R.Subhash Reddy,J) vrn
