THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.23377 of 2008 DATED: 12.08.2009 Between: Manneru Venkata Subbaiah and others .. Petitioners And The Commissioner of Endowments, Govt. of A.P., and others .. Respondents ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the proceedings dated 14.08.2008 issued by the 2nd respondent- District Collector, Kadapa District, permitting the 6th respondent- Sub Registrar, Rajampet Village and Mandal, Kadapa, to register the sale of lands in Sy.No.956, to an extent of 0.15 acres, Sy.No.959, to an extent of 0.65 acres and Sy.No.960, to an extent of 3.36 acres, situated at Rajampet Village and Mandal, by the 4th respondent in favour of the 5th respondent. This Court, while admitting the writ petition on 24.10.2008, passed interim orders in W.P.M.P.No.30459 of 2008, directing the 6th respondent not to register the sale of aforesaid lands by the 4th respondent in favour of the 5th respondent. Thereafter, when the matter came up for hearing on 22.07.2009, learned counsel for the 5th respondent placed before this Court the affidavits of petitioners 2 to 6, wherein they have stated that they are not interested in pursuing the writ petition and that the 1st petitioner obtained their signatures on a paper stating it to be in the welfare of the Society and filed it as Vakalat in this writ petition, and, therefore, they sought dismissal of the writ petition in respect of them. Copies of the said affidavits were served on the learned counsel for the petitioners, granting a week’s time for filing reply. Thereafter, on 30.07.2009, when the learned counsel for the petitioners could not obtain instructions and sought further time, this Court directed all the petitioners to appear in person before the Court on 11.08.2009 for recording their statements. On 11.08.2009, the 1st petitioner filed an affidavit stating that he obtained the signatures of petitioners 2 to 7 on Vakalat, duly informing them about filing of this writ petition, and it is unfortunate that they have now taken a stand that they were not informed of the same. The 1st petitioner, however, further submitted in his affidavit that he does not want to pursue the writ petition and, therefore, sought permission to withdraw the same. In the circumstances and in view of the affidavits filed by the 1st petitioner as well as the other petitioners, the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn and consequently the interim order passed on 24.10.2008 in W.P.M.P.No.30459 of 2008 stands vacated. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 12th August, 2009 IBL
