IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE FOURTEENTH DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO : 8127 of 2000 Between: ..... PETITIONER AND .....RESPONDENT Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.A.RAMA RAO Counsel for the Respondent No.: . The Court made the following : ..... REGISTRAR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.8127 of 2000 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is with regards detention of the pulses, seized from his shop on 18.4.2000, by the Vigilance Cell, Civil Supplies Department, Visakhapatnam. This Court, by order in W.P.M.P.10602 of 2000 dated 2.5.2000, granted interim stay of sale pending Section 6-A proceedings. Sri A.Rama Rao, Learned Counsel for the Petitioner would express ignorance as to what transpired thereafter and whether or not Section 6-A proceedings have since been completed. None appears for the respondents. As the writ petition relates to the year 2000, I see no reason to keep the matter pending on the file of this Court any further to enable the petitioner’s counsel to obtain instructions regarding the present status of the Section 6-A proceedings. Since the only order passed by this Court was for stay of sale, and as the stock of pulses continued to remain in the possession of the Civil Supplies department, ends of justice would be met if the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to complete Section 6-A proceedings, if they have not already been completed, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. ___________ 14-8-2008 asp
