At the time of hearing, when this Court raised an issue as to the maintainability of the issue against the second respondent company, it was stated that the State Government is having a stake in the second respondent company. Therefore, the second respondent Company must be treated on par with the State of Andhra Pradesh. But, a counter-affidavit is filed on behalf of the second respondent bringing to the notice of this Court that the State Government has no stake in the second respondent company. 3. If the State Government does not have any stake in the second respondent company, the petitioner is not entitled to maintain the writ petition against the second respondent Company and he is obligated to approach the other appropriate authorities that are provided under law. 4. Under the above circumstances, the writ petition is dismissed as not maintainable without going into the merits of the contentions. However, it is open to the petitioner to approach the appropriate authority as are provided under any other law. ___________________ S. Ananda Reddy, J Date: 01.08.2005 va
