IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) TUESDAY, THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 27102 of 1999 Between: S.S.R.J.Arts and Science College, Khammam ..... PETITIONER AND Mandal Revenue Officer, Khammam The District Collector, Khammam .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: NONE APPEARED The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for the following substantive relief: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit the petitioner herein prays that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue writ or order or direction, especially one in the nature of Mandamus; (i) declaring the notice issued under Section 8 of the A.P.Revenue Recovery Act, 1864 by the Mandal Revenue Officer, Khammam (U) dt. 4-12-1999 as illegal, arbitrary and was made without application of mind and set aside the same.” On 20.02.2008, when the writ petition was taken up for hearing, this Court directed the Registry to serve notice on the petitioner. The Registry has put up office note wherein it is stated that in compliance with the said direction, notice was sent to the petitioner on 20.02.2008 by registered post with acknowledgment due and the same was returned with an endorsement “addressee expired”. A perusal of the notice sent through registered post and returned with the postal endorsement shows that the notice was sent to Sri K.Ramamohan, President and Correspondent of the petitioner college and was returned with the said endorsement. Since the petitioner has not made any arrangement to prosecute the case, it is reasonable to presume that it is not interested in pursuing this writ petition. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed for non-prosecution. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 15th JULY, 2008. kvni
