THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19143 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner, formerly Senior Assistant in the Office of the Deputy Executive Engineer, Irrigation Sub-Division, Parvathipuram, Vizianagaram District, seeks a mandamus declaring the action of the respondent – Government in not disposing of his representation, dated 22.03.2010 seeking review of the orders passed by it in G.O.Ms.No.233, Irrigation & C.A.D. (IW: SERVICES-VI (1)) Department, dated 18.08.2009, as illegal and arbitrary. By G.O.Ms.No.233, dated 18.08.2009, the Government in exercise of powers conferred under Section 19(1)(b) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (for short ‘the Act’), granted sanction for prosecution of the petitioner for the offence under Section 13(2) read with 13(1)(e) of the Act. It is the case of the petitioner that while framing charges, the respondent has not taken into account the agricultural income of himself and his wife, as such, he filed representation, dated 22.03.2010, to review the orders passed in G.O.Ms.No.233, dated 18.08.2009. In the counter-affidavit filed by the respondent, while denying various allegations made by the petitioner, it is stated that the answering respondent has not received any such representation from the petitioner, as such, question of disposing of the same does not arise. As much as there is no proof of filing aforesaid representation by the petitioner and in view of denial by the respondent as to the receipt of such representation from the petitioner, no direction can be issued as prayed for. In that view of the matter, keeping open to the petitioner that if he is aggrieved by the orders passed by the respondent in G.O.Ms.No.233, dated 18.08.2009, he is at liberty to submit a representation to the respondent seeking review of the same, and if any such representation is filed, I am sure, the Government will consider and take appropriate decision in the matter, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 9th MARCH, 2011. Note: issue c.c. in three (3) days. kvni
