CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No. 16216 of 2007 Date 31-7-2007 Between: The Deputy Director, District Treasury ……… PETITIONER AND Sri Ghandham Kanaiah ……..RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No.16216 of 2007 ORDER: (per Smt. T.Meena Kumari,J) The petitioner-Department filed the present writ petition seeking a writ of Certiorari to call for the records relating to and connected with the order dated 26.3.2004 in O.A. No.5720 of 2001 on the file of the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad and to quash or set aside the same by holding it as erroneous and contrary to law. The brief facts of the case are that the respondent herein filed O.A. No. 5720 of 2001 before the Tribunal assailing the proceedings bearing No. A1/5055/98, dated 19.6.2000 of the Deputy Director, District Treasury, Chittoor, Chittoor District. The Tribunal, by the order impugned in this writ petition, allowed the O.A. and set aside the said order dated 19.6.2000 of the Deputy Director. Assailing the same, the Department filed this writ petition. Heard the learned Government Pleader for Services-II and perused the order of the Tribunal, impugned in this O.A. Admittedly, the Department filed the present writ petition nearly after a period of three years after the impugned order was passed by the Tribunal. Learned Government Pleader is not in a position to show any justifiable reason for the delay in filing the writ petition. In the circumstances, we are not inclined to entertain the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ (T. MEENA KUMARI,J) Date: 31st July, 2007 ___________________ (G. CHANDRAIAH,J) pnb pnb
