THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITOIN NO.19960 OF 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for, in this Writ Petition, is to declare the action of the respondents in interfering with the petitioner’s activities in allowing its members to play Rummy as being arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner claims to be a cultural and recreation society registered under the Societies Registration Act, and to be carrying on several social and recreational activities, including permitting its members to play Rummy, at their club in premises bearing No.12-463/4, Ashramam Road, Tadepalli Vilage & Mandal, Guntur District. A counter-affidavit is filed by the 3rd respondent wherein it is stated that no club in the name of Sri Sai Teja Cultural and Recreation Society is running at D. No.12/463/4, Ashramam Road, Tadepalli Village & Mandal, Guntur District, and no activities are being conducted thereat as alleged in the affidavit. It is further stated that a dilapidated school is in existence at the said premises. (photographs of the school premises and semi-finished structures are also filed). It is evident that the petitioner is seeking protection from this Court to play 13 cards of rummy, not in any club premises, but wherever they desire including in public places. I see no reason to grant the relief sought for. The Writ Petition is clearly an abuse of process of Court and it is, accordingly, dismissed with exemplary costs of Rs.5,000/- which the petitioner shall pay to the District Legal Services Authority, Guntur within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of the order failing which the said order shall be executed in accordance with law. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Date: 28.11.2011 MRKR
