IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO.32968 OF 2010 DATED:28.12.2010 Between: A. Rajendra Kumar … Petitioner And The State Human Rights Commission Rep. by its Registrar, Gruha Kalpa Complex M.J. Road, Nampally, Hyderabad and another … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO.32968 OF 2010 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) Heard Shri S. Sharath Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Deepak Bhattacharjee, learned Standing Counsel for the second respondent. Although we are in agreement with the learned counsel for the petitioner that the impugned order passed by the State Human Rights Commission is without jurisdiction, yet, setting it aside would revive basic order dated 9.8.2010, which too is bad in law, as environmental pollution measures are redressible by a separate statutory mechanism. We therefore set aside impugned order of Commission as well as basic order dt.9.8.2010. However, nothing prevents the petitioner to approach the Competent Authority for redressal of his grievance. Disposed of. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 28-12-2010 B. Narsinga Rao
