Counsel for the respondents: ---- This Court made the following: ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for the following substantive relief: “… to issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the impugned action of respondents 1 and 2 in including the name of the 3rd respondent in the panel of recommended Advocates to be appointed as Additional Public Prosecutor for the Court of the IV Additional District & Sessions Judge, Kurnool, in violation of provisions of G.O.Ms.No.118, dated 28-6-1999, and G.O.Ms.No.187, dated 6-12-2000 without following due process of law, as illegal and violative of principles of natural justice etc., and consequently direct respondents 1 and 2 not to consider the name of the 3rd respondent from the panel of Advocates for the post of Additional Public Prosecutor in the Court of the IV Additional District & Sessions Judge, Kurnool, Kurnool District, as long as he functions as Notary”. At the hearing, Sri N.V.Anantha Krishna, learned counsel for the petitioner, conceded that G.O.Ms.No.187, dated 6-12-2000, does not bar inclusion of a Notary in the panel of Advocates for appointment as a Additional Public Prosecutor; and that the bar operates only on a person assuming either of the said offices without relinquishing his assignment as Notary. In view of the same, the learned counsel seeks permission of the Court for withdrawal of the Writ Petition with liberty to the petitioner to question any appointment of respondent No.3, that may be made in future, in the event of his not relinquishing the office of Notary. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed with liberty in terms of the prayer made. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:15-4-2010 MNR
