THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 8056 OF 2010 Dated 12th April, 2010 Between: M.V.Shiva Prasad …Petitioner And The Assistant Director of Mines and Geology …Respondent Counsel for the petitioner : Sri C.V.R.Rudra Prasad Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Mines and Geology The Court made the following ORDER: This writ petition is filed for the following substantive relief: “That this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue a writ, order or direction one in the nature of writ of Mandamus declaring order of the respondent dated 01.02.2010 made in Lr.No.1576/SAND/2008 directing me to pay “short levy of stamp duty”, as arbitrary, illegal, unjust, violative of principles of natural justice, without jurisdiction, violative of the fundamental rights guaranteed under Articles 14 and 19 of the Constitution of India apart from being violative of the procedure contemplated under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 and consequently set aside the same.” It is not in dispute that the petitioner has earlier filed W.P. No.5977 of 2009 for the same relief as claimed in this writ petition and this Court, by order dated 20.03.2009, passed an interim order in WPMP No.7812 of 2009 in the said writ petition. Sri C.V.R.Rudra Prasada, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that in spite of the said order having been passed by this Court, the respondent is insisting on complying with his letter dated 01.02.2010. When an order has already been passed by this Court, it is the bounden duty of the respondent to implement the same so long as the said order exists. If the respondent defies the order of this Court, the petitioner shall be free to proceed against him by availing appropriate remedy. On the ground that the earlier order of this Court is not being complied with, the petitioner cannot be permitted to initiate another round of litigation for the same relief. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP No.10367 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 12th April, 2010 vrn
