ANANDA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 19777 OF 2001 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner questioning the Memo issued by the Government in Memo No. 1430/Fish.II (1)/2001, dated 11.6.2001, as arbitrary, contrary to the provisions of the A.P. Cooperative Societies Act, 1964 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Act’), and consequently sought for a direction to the respondents to register the Fishermen Cooperative Society under the Act. Interim stay was granted by this court. At the time of hearing, it is represented that in another similar matter in W.P.No. 13989 of 2001, dated 8.10.2002, in the case of another Fishermen Cooperative Society, it was observed by this court that the impugned Memo dated 11.6.2001 was kept in abeyance by a subsequent Memo No. 1430/Fish- II(1)/G1, dated 18.9.2002. In view of the said fact that by a subsequent Memo the earlier Memo was kept in abeyance, there is no restriction or prohibition for registering the new societies under the Act. Therefore, no further orders are necessary in the present writ petition, as the original Memo issued by the Government itself is no more operating against the Fisherman Cooperative Societies to be registered under the Act. The writ petition is accordingly closed. No costs. _________________ S. Ananda Reddy, J. Dt. 11..07..2007 Kvh THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE S.
