Transco, Hyderabad & another … Respondents :: O R D E R :: Counsel for the petitioner : None Counsel for the respondents : Shri V. Ajay Kumar August 01, 2007 In this petition, the petitioner has made the following substantive prayer: “ I, therefore, pray that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue an appropriate writ, order or direction more particularly one ion the nature of writ of mandamus, declaring the action of the respondent No.1 in issuing the Initial Assessment Notice No.ADE/DXI/V3-15643/D.No.32 dt. 12.4.2001, leaving an amount of Rs.33,391/- as illegal, arbitrary and against to the principles of natural justice and to consequently direct the respondent No.2 herein not to arrest the petitioner under the guise of aforesaid Notice in Cr.No.1310/2001, and to grant such other relief or reliefs as this Hon’ble Court deems fit and proper in the circumstances of the case.” Since no one has appeared for the petitioner, it is reasonable to presume that he is not interested in pursuing his cause. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed in default. While dismissing the writ petition, I deem it proper to take cognizance of the statement of the learned counsel for the respondents that on 12.07.2004, the competent authority had passed final order and confirmed the provisional demand of Rs. 33, 391/-. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition in default, order dated 16.05.2001 is vacated and W.P.M.P.No.12138 of 2001 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed. G.S.
