IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY TUESDAY, THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF OCTOBER, TWO THOUSAND NINE WRIT PETITION No.5179 of 2002 Between: Sakhinetipally Bala Sekhar … Petitioner And The District Collector, West Godavari District at Eluru & 3 others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : None Counsel for the respondents: None This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5179 of 2002 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in seeking to remove the iron poles (barriers) put across the sub-roads of Aitampudi Village, as illegal. The petitioner sought for a direction to the respondents not to remove the said iron poles. On 25.09.2009 and also today, there has been no representation for the parties. A perusal of the proceeding sheet shows that on 21.03.2002 this Court granted interim direction to the respondents not to remove the iron poles (barriers), if the same were not already removed. On 06.08.2002, this Court vacated the said order by taking note of the fact that the iron girders and poles, erected in all the three streets, were removed by 31.03.2002 by which time the order of this Court was not received by the respondents. Since the iron poles were already removed, the prayer in the writ petition, as it is conceived, has become infructuous and the writ petition is accordingly dismissed as such. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.6993 of 2002 filed by the petitioner for amendment of respondent No.4 is also dismissed. _____________________________ C.V.
