THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.23642 of 1996 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking Mandamus declaring the Memo dated 24.10.1996 issued by the first respondent as illegal and arbitrary. Under the impugned Memo dated 24.10.1996, the transfer orders earlier issued against the petitioner were cancelled. This Court, while admitting the writ petition on 7.11.1996, granted interim suspension of the impugned order. Now it is more than 10 years after passing the interim order. I am of the opinion that there is no necessity of going into the merits and demerits of the impugned order at this length of time and no cause survives for adjudication in the writ petition and the same is closed. However, this will not preclude the respondents from taking appropriate steps as required under law after putting the petitioner on notice, if necessary. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 12.12.2006 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.23642 of 1996 12.12.2006 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.23642 of 1996 Date: 12th December, 2006 Between: P.Swamy ..
