FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORAL JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble the Chief Justice) Learned single Judge dismissed the writ petition in the absence of counsel for the petitioner - appellant relegating the petitioner society to the Civil Court for appropriate relief. In fact, the grievance of the petitioner society is that respondent No.3 could not have been registered in view of the bar contained under Section 6 (2) (c) of A.P. Societies Registration Act, 2001 and a representation was submitted by the petitioner, but no action was taken thereupon. In such matter, learned single Judge ought to have at least heard the petitioner’s counsel instead of relegating the petitioner to the Civil Court. Writ Appeal is allowed and impugned order set aside with direction that writ petition be listed before the learned single Judge for admission in the first week of February, 2005. ________________________ DEVINDER GUPTA, C.J. _________________________ M.NARAYANA REDDY, J 19-01-2005 bsc ........REGISTRAR To 1.
