IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD MONDAY, THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE SMT. T.MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT APPEAL NO. 88 OF 2010 (Writ Appeal under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent against the Order dated 03.12.2009 in WP No. 15498 of 2009 on the file of the High Court.) Between: Mohammad Khaja Moinuddin ..... APPELLANT AND The Regional Passport Officer, Hyderadad and others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: ORAL JUDGMENT: (per T.Meena Kumari, the Acting Chief Justice.) The present Writ Appeal seeks to assail the order dated 3.12.2009 passed by a learned single Judge in WP No. 15498 of 2009 dismissing the same. The appellant herein filed the above writ petition questioning inaction on the part of the respondents 1 to 3 in taking steps for the cancellation of the passport and US Visas fraudulently obtained by the respondents 4 and 5. The appellant married the fourth respondent in September, 2000. It is his case that the fourth respondent started ill-treating his parents and in December, 2001 she joined him at USA, but neglected him and the two children born out of the wedlock. While so, the fifth respondent, brother of the fourth respondent fraudulently obtained US F1 Student Visa and since the representation made by the appellant to the first respondent did not yield any result, he filed the writ petition. It is case of the fourth respondent that she is a divorcee with two children and her husband i.e. the appellant himself filled the passport form. It is also stated by her that in the counter the appellant was convicted by the criminal court of New York City for third degree assault and that he had married twice and both the marriages ended in divorce. The learned single Judge, on extensive consideration of the controversial issues, dismissed the writ petition leaving it open to the appellant to file seek appropriate remedy before appropriate forum. Aggrieved thereby, the present Writ Appeal is filed. As can be seen from the counter affidavit filed by the fourth respondent, as soon as she finished her Masters Degree in Computer Application, an unexpected marriage proposal had lead to her marriage within a week’s time and soon after her marriage with the appellant, he filled the passport form and asked her to sign and being unaware of his evil intentions, she signed the same. That apart, as observed by the learned single Judge, the letter dated 29.9.2000, the fourth respondent did not suppress about her marital status. Over and above, there appears to be serious family and matrimonial issues involved, which the appellant intends to redress invoking the extraordinary jurisdiction of this court in the writ proceedings. The learned single Judge has rightly dismissed the writ petition holding that such disputes are not amenable to writ jurisdiction. Therefore, while leaving it open to the appellant to seek redressal of his grievance before appropriate authorities, we do not see any reason to interfere with the order impugned herein. Consequently, the writ appeal fails and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________________ T.Meena Kumari, ACJ _________________ Justice G.Chandraiah February 15, 2010 MAS.
