IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD WEDNESDAY, THE 4th DAY OF JULY, TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION Nos.26644 of 2009 AND 2010 of 2010 Between: M.Adam … Petitioner And State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. By its Principal Secretary, Home and another … Respondents This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION Nos.26644 of 2009 AND 2010 of 2010 ORDER: - (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice A.GOPAL REDDY) These two writ petitions in the form of Public Interest Litigation are filed by the writ petitioners for maintaining law and order and to take appropriate action against the wrong doers in causing damage to the public and private properties, for obtaining separate state of Telangna by the people of that area. According to the petitioners, after the President of Telangana Rashtra Samithi started his political stunt of fasting on 29.11.2009, the situation became volatile and the unruly mob are attacking the passers by and number of private and public vehicles are burnt including the R.T.C.Buses. That the police personnel who have to maintain law and order are least spectators and are not preventing the damage being caused to the public and private properties. Therefore, necessary directions should be issued to the police personnel for maintaining law and order forthwith. Pending the writ petition, an interim direction was sought for to deploy necessary security personnel; to prevent any untoward incidents and to make arrangements so that the fundamental rights of the individuals are not affected. This court while issuing notice to the respondents recorded the submission made by the Special Government Pleader appearing for the learned Advocate General that the State Government is initiating measures under the provisions of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984. Having regard to the fact that the normalcy has already been restored in that region and there is no agitation or destruction of the public or private properties as alleged by the petitioners and as there is no law and order problem existing as on today in that connection, no further cause survives in these writ petitions for adjudication and for issuing necessary directions in that regard. However, if any untoward incident takes place, as represented by the Special Government Pleader, it is always open for the State Government to identify the disgruntled elements and can take necessary action against the said persons by initiating measures under the provisions of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984. Accordingly, these two writ petitions are disposed of. No costs. ________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J ____________ K.C.BHANU, J 4th August 2010 lmv
