M.SRINIVASA RAO FOR MR.M.SURENDER RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR COOPERATION The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in seeking to auction the petitioner’s property bearing H.No.5-5-8, Naneppa Nagar, Hindupur without furnishing any documents, as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional. Heard Sri M.Srinivasa Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Cooperation and perused the record. The only grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that his property was put to sale without furnishing him necessary documents such as award, decree and other material asked for by him. A perusal of the proceeding sheet shows that this Court on 01.02.2002 granted interim stay of auction subject to the petitioner paying Rs.40,000/ within four (4) weeks. Since the petitioner’s grievance is innocuous, namely, the respondents cannot auction the property without supplying necessary copies of the award and decree of the Registrar of Cooperative Societies in execution of which the property is proposed to be auctioned, the writ petition is disposed of with permission to the petitioner to apply for certiﬁed copies of the award and other relevant documents within a period of four (4) weeks from today. On such application being made, respondent No.2 shall supply the same within a period of two (2) weeks thereafter. If the respondents seek to proceed with the sale of his property, the petitioner shall be free to avail the remedy of appeal under Section 76 of the Andhra Pradesh Cooperative Societies Act, 1964. For a period of eight (8) weeks, the respondents shall not proceed with the auction of the petitioner’s property. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 19th SEPTEMBER, 2008. kvni
