Sri S.Balachand, Learned Counsel for the Petitioner would fairly state that O.S.No.630 of 1999 was filed by the petitioner herein, for declaration of title and injunction in respect of the very same property covered by G.O.Ms.No.597 dated 12.8.1998, before the Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad. Learned Counsel would submit that an order of interim injunction was passed by the Civil Court against the respondents, including the Government, restraining them from interfering with the property of the petitioner. He would submit that the appeal preferred thereagainst before this Court was also dismissed. Learned counsel would submit that, since a comprehensive suit challenging the very title of the government over the property is pending adjudication before the Civil Court, it is unnecessary for this Court to go into the merits of the controversy in this writ petition. In view of the circumstances, stated by the Learned Counsel for the petitioner, as referred to hereinabove, the writ petition does not necessitate adjudication and is dismissed as not pressed. No order as to costs. __________ 11-8-2008 asp
