IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD MONDAY, THE TWENTY NINTH OF MARCH TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJUL CRIMINAL PETITION No.2117 of 2010 Between: Puvvada Shyam Prasad and another …Petitioners AND State of A.P. …Respondent The Court made the following: ' THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.2117 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is ﬁled against return endorsement dated 21.02.2009 of the II Additional Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Nellore, on a petition ﬁled by the petitioner under Sections 451 and 457 Cr.P.C. At the outset, return endorsement of the lower Court is no order, much less a judicial order. The ministerial return of a petition cannot be equated with a judicial order. It is for the petitioner to resubmit the petition answering the objection in the return endorsement and then it is for the lower Court to pass an order on judicial side on that petition. Then only the petitioner can approach this Court by way of appropriate proceeding against such judicial order. This Court is of the considered opinion that this petition is not maintainable against a ministerial return of the petition. Therefore, the petitioner is at liberty to take return of the petition with return endorsement from the Registry of this Court and to re-present the same in the lower Court and seek necessary orders thereon from the lower Court. With the said observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ___________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J March 29, 2010 Bvv
