HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7934 OF 2001 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed by the State challenging the order of the learned District Judge, Nizamabad in C.M.A. No.32 of 1996 dated 31-07-2000, whereby the learned District Judge set aside the proceedings No.4118/N7/94 of the Divisional Forest Officer – cum – Authorised Officer, Nizamabad, which was passed confiscating the lorry involved in transporting 152 teak logs measuring 6.378 cmt. illegally along with tools to the Government under Section 44(2) of the A.P. Forest Act, 1967. Though the writ petition is pending since April 2001, notice is not yet served on the respondent. The lorry was allegedly transporting timber worth Rs.55,401/- illegally, as such, it was directed to be confiscated to the State. The value of the lorry is shown as 43,000/- and now it might have become nil. In the circumstances, I see no justification in keeping the petition pending further. Therefore the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J November 25, 2010. PV
