THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.16554 of 2010 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice V. Eswaraiah) The petitioner herein is the 2nd respondent in L.G.C.No.44 of 2000 on the file of the Special Court under A.P.Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, Hyderabad (for short “the Special Court”). The petitioner herein filed I.A.No.699 of 2010 in the said L.G.C. to defer further enquiry in L.G.C.No.44 of 2000 till pronouncement of judgment in W.P.Nos.11951 of 2010 and 11869 of 2010 before this Court. It is stated that questioning the earlier common order, dated 30- 04-2000, passed by the Special Court in the same L.G.C. in I.A.Nos.216 of 2010 and 585 of 2007, the petitioner filed the aforesaid writ petitions and a Division Bench of this Court heard the matter and reserved for judgment on 10-06-2010 but because of change of rosters, the judgment could not be pronounced on 14-06-2010 and the petitioner is expecting pronouncement of the judgment at any time and, therefore, he has requested to defer further enquiry in the L.G.C. till pronouncement of judgment in the above said reserved writ petitions. It is stated that I.A.No.699 of 2010 was filed on 06-07-2010 but the Special Court passed the docket proceedings, dated 07-07-2010, which reads as follows:- “RW.3/G.Venkateswarulu (Tahsildar) is not present. A.G.P. requested to post the case to some other date. Post on 14-07-2010 for cross-examination of RW.3 (G.Venkateswarulu, Tahsildar) by R- 2, if any, and for cross-examination by applicant as a last chance.” It is stated that earlier the Special Court passed the docket proceedings, dated 25-06-2010, which reads as follows:- “Costs paid to A.G.P. RW.3 not present. Counsel for respondent No.2 present and submitted that they are expecting orders from the Hon’ble High Court before 5th of July and he requested to post the matter after 5th. Post on 07-07-2010 for cross-examination of RW.3 (G.Venkateshwarlu, Tahsildar) on behalf of R-2, failing which the right of R-2 to cross examine RW.3 will be forfeited.” It is further stated that though the 3rd respondent was not present and not co-operating, forfeiting the right of R-2 to cross-examine RW.3 is without any justification. We are not inclined to express any opinion with regard to the merits of the case. But, however, we are of the opinion that when I.A.No.699 of 2010 in L.G.C.No.44 of 2000 was filed on 06-07-2010, the Special Court ought to have passed orders on the said I.A. in accordance with law, but without passing orders and ignoring the said I.A., appears to be not reasonable. Accordingly, we dispose of the writ petition directing the Special Court to consider and dispose of I.A.No.699 of 2010 in L.G.C.No.44 of 2000, forthwith, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. No costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J _______________ NOUSHAD ALI, J Date: 14-07-2010 Prv
