THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 11139 of 2009 Oral order: In this writ petition, which is moved by way of lunch motion, the petitioner has questioned the order dated 04.06.2009, issued by respondent No.1, namely the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies, directing the petitioner to appear before him at his office at 11.00 a.m. on 08.06.2009 in person or through his legal counsel and to furnish adequate bank security to his satisfaction for the overdue amounts payable by him and his spouse, failing which, action will be initiated against them without further notice for attachment of the properties mentioned therein. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Though the petitioner contends that the impugned order is an order of attachment, the fact remains, it is not a final order, but is only a show cause notice directing the petitioner to appear before the authority in person or through his legal counsel and to furnish adequate bank security, and in the event of his failure to appear, then action will be initiated against him and his spouse for attachment of their properties mentioned therein. The law is well settled that no writ petition is maintainable against a show cause notice. Since the impugned order is merely a show cause notice, the remedy of the petitioner, is to either appear in person by himself or appear through counsel, as indicated in the notice, and submit his reply to the contents of the notice, but certainly the writ petition filed by him is not maintainable, and the same is liable to be dismissed. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. _________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 5th June, 2009 KSR
