JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21220 of 2005 Between: Gandam Rangaiah & others. … Petitioners AND Govt., of A.P., rep., by its Principal Secretary, Panchayat Raj & Rural Development (Pts.II) Dept, Secretariat, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners : Smt. G. Jhansi for Sri B. Adinarayana Rao Counsel for respondents 1&2 : GP for Panchayat Raj Counsel for respondents 4 to 28: Brahmaiah Chowdary This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21220 of 2005 ORDER:- At the interlocutory stage the writ petition is taken up for hearing and disposal. This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to set aside Memo dated 08.06.2005 issued by respondent No.1, whereby the auction proposed to be held on 29.08.2005 by respondent No.3 – Grampanchayat was stayed. A perusal of the record shows that on 04.10.2005 this Court granted interim stay of the impugned Memo. Sri Brahmaiah Chowdary, learned counsel representing respondent Nos.4 to 28 submitted that in view of the said interim order, auction was conducted. This statement is not disputed by Smt. G. Jhansi, learned counsel representing the petitioners. Since this Court suspended the operation of the impugned Memo, I have no reason not to accept the submission of the learned counsel for respondent Nos.4 to 28. Since the auctions were already conducted, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.27184 of 2005 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 19.06.2008 ES
