THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.17078 of 2002 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner, who is practicing as an Advocate at Ananthapur, seeks a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in including his name as a person aiding factionists as illegal and is in violation of the rights guaranteed under Article 19(1)(b) of the Constitution of India. Except a newspaper report, there are no other proceedings issued by any authority under any law including the name of the petitioner as a person aiding factionists. Merely based on a news item, he cannot seek the relief as sought for in the present writ petition. If there is any publication damaging his reputation, it is for him to seek remedy before the common law Courts by seeking appropriate relief. In the absence of any order by any authority, no relief can be granted to the petitioner in this writ petition. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue appropriate remedies available to him under law, if he is aggrieved by any newspaper report. No order as to costs. _____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J Dt.06.04.2009 VGB
