IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE EIGHTH DAY OF APRIL, TWO THOUSAND TEN PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7016 of 2010 Between: K. Ajeya Kumar … Petitioner And Govt., of A.P., rep., by its Principal Secretary, Forest Department, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri K.S. Murthy Counsel for the respondents: GP for Forets This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7016 of 2010 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.4 in issuing proceedings dated 18.02.2010, as illegal and arbitrary. This Court, finding the last para of the abovementioned proceedings as being in excess of the jurisdiction of respondent No.3, who is impleaded as respondent No.4 in his personal capacity, took a serious view of the said part of the proceedings. The learned Government Pleader requested this Court to adjourn the case to advise respondent No.3 to withdraw the said portion and communicate the same to the petitioner. Today, at the hearing, the learned Government Pleader placed before the Court proceedings dated 26.03.2010, whereby respondent No.3 passed order withdrawing the offending portion of his earlier proceedings dated 18.03.2010. The endorsement made on the vacant margin of proceedings dated 26.03.2010 shows that one V.Bhargavi, junior of the petitioner’s counsel acknowledged the said proceedings. In view of the unconditional withdrawal of the said part of proceedings dated 18.03.2010 by respondent No.3, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. Before parting up with this case, I deem it appropriate to express this Court’s displeasure over the manner in which respondent No.3 conducted himself in passing the impugned proceedings. I hope and trust that he will not repeat this attitude in future. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is closed. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition in the manner indicated above, WPMP.No.9057 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V.
