IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.26985 of 2008 Date: 6th December, 2010 Between: Fishermen Cooperative Society, Medavaram, rep. by its President M.Venkateswarlu. .. Petitioner And The Commissioner of Fisheries, Mastya Bhavan, Shantinagar, Vijayanagar Colony, Hyderabad & others. .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.26985 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: The only ground raised by the petitioner is that the third respondent-Assistant Director of Fisheries has no authority to issue the impugned proceedings dated 26.11.2008. It is unfortunate that in the counter filed by the respondents, no provision of law has been stated, except saying that under the provisions of A.P. Cooperative Societies Act 1964, impugned proceedings have been passed for the purpose of enquiry. Thus, it is clear that the respondents are not aware of the provisions of law, under which notice has been issued. This Court, while ordering notice before admission on 22.12.2008, passed the following interim order: “In the meanwhile, though it is open to the third respondent to proceed with the impugned notice dated 26.11.2008, the proceedings shall not be finalilsed until further orders”. Now it is brought to the notice of the Court that in fact, no enquiry has been conducted in pursuance of the impugned proceedings. Under those circumstances, the impugned proceedings are set aside leaving liberty to the respondents to conduct an enquiry, if any advised, as per law, quoting the provision of law and putting the petitioner and all other parties concerned on notice. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 6.12.2010 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.26985 of 2008 6.12.2010
