Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. A perusal of the impugned proceedings shows that it is nothing but a notice issued to enquire into the social status of the petitioner. The learned counsel for the petitioner while relying upon a Division Bench of this Court in Government of Andhra Pradesh v. R.K.Ragala[1] vehemently contended that such enquiry is impermissible since a detailed enquiry was already conducted by the M.R.O. Gooty in the year 1992. It is always open to the petitioner to urge the same before the second respondent in the enquiry proposed under the impugned notice and produce the entire material in support of the said plea. Hence, the writ petition at this stage being premature cannot be entertained. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to submit his explanation and appear before the second respondent in response to the impugned notice. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J Dated: 19-02-2009 Note: Issue c.c. in 3 days. B/o KLP [1] AIR 1994 Andhra Pradesh 238
