THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4903 of 2009 Date:30.06.2011 Between: M/s.Vijaya Hospitals Private Limited, Hyderabad ..... Petitioner AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by Deputy Director of Mines and Geology, Hyderabad and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri G.Vidya Sagar Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 and 2: Assistant Government Pleader for Mines and Geology Counsel for Respondent Nos.3 and 4: None appeared The Court made the following: ORDER: At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition itself is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the show- cause notice dated 09.04.2007 issued by respondent No.2 as illegal and arbitrary. In the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.2, it is inter alia stated that following the impugned show-cause notice, respondent No.2 issued demand notice dated 31.05.2007 determining the petitioner’s liability of payment of normal seignorage charges along with five times penalty amounting to Rs.5,10,462/-. At the hearing, Sri G.Vidya Sagar, learned counsel for the petitioner, fairly conceded that his client has not challenged the final determination so far. In my opinion, unless the petitioner questions the order finally determining its liability, no relief can be granted in its favour. On the above premises, the Writ Petition is disposed of without adjudicating the case on merits with liberty to the petitioner to file fresh writ petition in order to question the order dated 31.05.2007 finally determining the petitioner’s liability of seignorage charges. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, interim order dated 13.03.2009 in W.P.M.P.No.6431 of 2009 is vacated and W.P.M.P.No.6431 of 2009 and W.V.M.P.No.2033 of 2009 are disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 30th June, 2011 GHN
