THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2862 of 2007 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed questioning notice, dated 11.12.2006 issued by the first respondent - Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, Visakhapatnam, inviting applications for constituting a Trust Board to Sri Seetha Rama Swamy Vari Temple, Rolugunta Village and Mandal, in exercise of powers under Section 15(3) of Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act No.30 of 1987 (for short ‘the Act’). This Court by order, dated 01.03.2007, granted interim suspension of the impugned notice. It is to be noted that the impugned notice was issued for constituting a Trust Board only for a period of two (2) years. It is also to be noted that by Act No.33 of 2007, the Assistant Commissioner of Endowments is not the competent authority. In view of expiry of the term and further amendments made to the Act by Act No.33 of 2007, no further steps can be taken pursuant to the impugned notice. In that view of the matter, the Writ Petition is allowed and the impugned notice is hereby quashed. However, it is made clear that it is open to the competent authority to notify afresh for constituting a Trust Board. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 26th AUGUST, 2011. kvni
