PETITIONER AND 1 The Collector, Kakinada, East Godavari. And others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.Y.SOMAYAJULU WRIT PETITION NO: 20792 of 1996 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed questioning the action of the 3rd respondent in refusing to give caste certificate to the petitioner as Konda Kapu (S.T. Community) passed prior to the coming into force of the Andhra Pradesh (SC, ST & BCs) Regulation of Issuance of Community Certificates Act, 1983 (for short ‘the Act’). Since the Act came into force after the petitioner filed this petition, I deem it appropriate to direct the petitioner to approach the authorities concerned under the Act for issuance of a caste certificate, who shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders on its merits without being influence by the order impugned. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ________ 28-01-2006 Mjl/*
