THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.28003 OF 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is to declare the action of the respondents in not passing any order on the applications made by the petitioner theatres for enhancement of rates pursuant to G.O.Ms.No.181 dated 11.07.2011, as arbitrary and illegal. Learned Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, would submit that the Collector and District Magistrate, Guntur, had, vide proceedings dated 15.10.2011, accorded permission for enhancement of rates to 4 of the 5 petitioner cinema theatres, except petitioner No.4 theatre (Sri Venkateswara Talkies), whose request for enhancement was rejected. A copy of the proceedings dated 15.10.2011 is made available to the Learned Counsel for the petitioners. Since the petitioners applications for enhancement of rates is no longer pending before the licencing authority, the cause in the Writ Petition does not necessitate any further adjudication, and the Writ Petition has become infructuous. Leaving it open to the petitioners, if they are so aggrieved, to question the proceedings dated 15.10.2011, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J October 24, 2011 MD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.28003 OF 2011 October 24, 2011 MD
