IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE FOURTEENTH DAY OF AUGUST, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21045 of 2004 Between: Vennapusa Penchal Reddy. … Petitioner And Sri Kamakshi Sameth Siddeswara Swamy Temple, Kalichedu village, Saidapuram Mandal, reptd., by its Board of Trustees and another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri M.P.Chandramouli. Counsel for respondents: Smt.J.D.Yeshoda for Sri V.T.M.Prasad for R.1. Assistant Government Pleader for Endowments for R.2. This Court made the following: ORDER: This Writ Petition is ﬁled for a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in auctioning lands admeasuring Ac.3.59 cents in Survey No.410 of Inukurthi village and Ac.5.48 cents in Survey No.149 of Mudigedu village, Podalakur Mandal as illegal and arbitrary. A perusal of the record shows that the impugned auction notiﬁcation was issued proposing to auction the leasehold rights of the above-mentioned properties for a period of three years i.e., for the years 2004 to 2007. Since, admittedly, the period for which the auction notice was issued had expired, the cause in the Writ Petition does not survive for consideration. The Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous without going into the merits of the contentions of the respective parties. ----------------------- ----------------- C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 14-08-2008 MNR
