THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.16678 OF 2007 DATED 16TH MARCH, 2011 BETWEEN Jonnalagadda Madhusudana Rao …Petitioner And The Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, Department of Endowments, Vijayawada, Krishna District and another. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.16678 OF 2007 O R D E R By way of this writ petition, the petitioner assailed the action of the respondents in proposing to conduct an auction of the leasehold rights of the agricultural land being cultivated by him on 06.08.2007, on the ground that the same was in violation of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987 and the Rules framed thereunder. He sought a consequential direction to set aside the proceeding dated 25.07.2007 passed by the Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, Vijayawada, Krishna District, directing the auction to be conducted. This Court, by order dated 06.08.2007, granted interim suspension of the impugned proceeding dated 25.07.2007. Thereby, the auction of the leasehold rights did not fructify. Pertinent to note, the second respondent temple to which the subject land belongs had resolved on 15.06.2007 to lease out the subject land for the year 2007-08 only. Thus, the impugned proceeding dated 25.07.2007 passed by the Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, Vijayawada, Krishna District, directing that the public auction in respect thereof be conducted on 06.08.2007 was also relatable to the said period. That being so, the writ petition has become infructuous due to efflux of time and the challenge to the impugned proceeding dated 25.07.2007 no longer survives for adjudication on merits. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. In consequence, the implead petition in WPMP No.21787 of 2009 shall stand dismissed. No order as to costs. ---------------------------- SANJAY KUMAR, J. 16TH MARCH, 2011. PGS/VGSR
