THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.24139 of 2009 Dated:10.11.2009 Sri Landa Venkata Ramana. .. Petitioner. And The Commissioner of Police, Visakhapatnam, Visakhapatnam District, and others. .. Respondents. ORDER: The forefathers of the petitioner were the original founder poojaris of Sri Pyditallemma temple situated in their village Adivivaram. After the demise of the father of the petitioner, the petitioner became the poojari of the said temple, and for the year 2008- 09, the Utsav Committee issued a notification on 07.06.2008 inviting applications from the interested persons to participate in the open auction conducted on 06.06.2008, for receiving ‘Aseelu’ i.e., offerings. As one Sathivada Shankar Rao stood as the highest bidder in the said auction, the said Aseelu was given in his favour for the period of one year i.e., from 01.07.2008 to 30.06.2009. The petitioner, who is also a Trustee and the Chairman of the said temple, contends that, basing on a forged document created as if the lease period was extended for one more year i.e., for 2009-2010, the said Shankar Rao filed a suit being O.S.No.725 of 2009 on the file of the Court of the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Visakhapatnam, for permanent injunction, and also filed I.A.No.916 of 2009 for temporary injunction, and the learned Principal Senior Civil Judge, after hearing both sides, dismissed the said I.A. Aggrieved thereby, the said Shankar Rao filed W.P.No.12743 of 2009 and the same was dismissed for non-prosecution on 28.07.2009. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the lease granted in favour of the said Shankar Rao expired on 30.06.2009, the said Shankar Rao is not handing over the keys of the said temple, and, hence, he submitted a report to the 3rd respondent-Inspector of Police (L & O), Gopalapatnam, Visakhapatnam, on 08.08.2009 to take necessary action, but as no action is being taken on the said report till date, he filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents. Having regard to the fact that the purported report dated 08.08.2009 submitted by the petitioner is pending before the police, the 3rd respondent-Inspector of Police (L & O), Gopalapatnam, Visakhapatnam, is hereby directed to consider the report dated 08.08.2009 submitted by the petitioner, and take appropriate action, as per law, after hearing the said Shankar Rao also, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA,J 10.11.2009 v v
