THE HONOUABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P. No. 11697 of 2005 Date:31-07-2007 Between: Ashok A/C, Rajahmundry, represented by its Managing partner, M.Bava Raju and 35 others. .. PETITIONERS AND The Joint Collector, Kakinada and another .. RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioners seek a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not making endorsement in B-Form licence of the petitioners’ theatres for enhancement of admission rates as per the application, dated 16.05.2005, as illegal and arbitrary. Even the application of the petitioners, dated 16.05.2005 filed before the Joint Collector, Eluru, West Godavari District was only to enhance the special rates for a period of one week only from the date of release of the new picture. Pursuant to the interim direction, the petitioners were permitted to run the theatre with enhanced rates. As per the application of the petitioners, the period mentioned in the writ petition has already been elapsed and therefore, the writ petition has become infructuous. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. No costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:31.07.2007 CCM
