THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.15280 of 1996 ORAL ORDER: The very writ petition is ﬁled seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not taking eﬀective steps under Section 24 of the A.P. Education Act restraining the ﬁfth respondent from functioning as Correspondent and Secretary of the NBT & NVC College, Narsaraopet, consequent upon the show cause notice dated 22.1.1996, as arbitrary and illegal. It appears, ﬁfth respondent was elected as Correspondent-cum-Secretary in the elections held on 28.7.1996 and functioning as such. Questioning the same, the present writ petition is filed. This Court, while admitting the writ petition on 2.8.1996, granted interim direction. The ﬁfth respondent ﬁled petition to vacate the said interim order. After hearing the matter, this Court while vacating the interim order, held that the ﬁfth respondent shall function as Secretary-cum-Correspondent of SNBT & NVC College with immediate eﬀect and the District Collector, Guntur is appointed to oversee the functioning and administration of the College. It was further held that the ﬁfth respondent shall not deal any administrative matters involving policy decisions without prior approval of the District Collector and he shall also not deal with any matters having ﬁnancial involvement without speciﬁc permission of the District Collector and the Bank account shall be operated with the joint signature of Secretary and District Collector on the cheques. It appears, the ﬁfth respondent was elected for a period of three years and now it is more than 10 years since the filing of writ petition. Therefore, I am of the opinion that no cause survives in the writ petition and it has become infructuous. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as having become infructuous.
