Rep by its Depot Manager ....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.V.R.KRISHNA SHARMA Counsel for the Respondents: ---- The Court made the following : O R D E R: This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the action of respondents 3 and 4 in splitting up respondent No.4-Depot, without following due process of law, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing to the query of the Court, the learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that so far no order of splitting has been passed by respondents 3 and 4. In my considered view, the cause of action, if any, would arise for the petitioners to approach this Court if a final decision of splitting the Depot is taken by respondents 3 and 4. As admittedly no such decision has yet been taken, the writ petition is wholly premature and hence, the same is dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to avail their remedies in the event of an order being passed by respondents 3 and 4. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP No.23448 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 19th August, 2008 vrn
