IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD MONDAY, THE FOURTEENTH DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SRI ANIL R. DAVE AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26715 of 2009 Between: Saramarla Mose Rao ...Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh, Represented by its Principal Secretary, Revenue (Endowments) Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. ...Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri P. Ananth Nageswar Rao Counsel for respondent Nos.1 & 2: Government Pleader for Endowments Counsel for respondent No.3 : None Counsel for respondent No.4 : None The Court made the following: ORDER: (per Sri C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy, J.) This writ petition is filed for issuance of a writ of quo warranto against respondent No.4 vis-à-vis his office as Person-in-Charge of Management of respondent No.3 Devasthanam. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. It is not in dispute that making allegations similar to those raised in the present writ petition, Writ Petition No.19043 of 2009 was filed as public interest litigation, wherein the respondents have filed their counter affidavit and this Court is seized of the said writ petition. Except that the petitioner has sought a writ of quo warranto in this writ petition, the scope of this petition is identical to the said writ petition which is pending. Hence, in our view, this writ petition, which is also purported to have been filed in public interest, is quite unnecessary and all the issues which are raised in this writ petition can be properly adjudicated in the pending writ petition. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is dismissed with no order as to costs. ANIL R. DAVE, C.J. 14th December, 2009 C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J. ARS
