IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU WRIT PETITION NO.14421 OF 2005 DATED:01.07.2010 Between: M/s. Poorna Wines Vijayawada, rep. by its Proprietor Sri Kamlesh Parsram Rupani S/o. Vishandas Rupani R/o.53-B, Skyline Apartments Near Skyline Theatre, Basheerbagh Hyderabad … Petitioner And The Principal Secretary Revenue Department (Ex-III) Govt. of Andhra Pradesh Secretariat Buildings, Saifabad Hyderabad and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU WRIT PETITION NO.14421 OF 2005 ORDER: In the writ petition on hand a claim is staked by the petitioner for return of liquor surrendered by him in compliance with G.O. Ms. No.16 Revenue (Excise-II) Department, dated 12.1.1995 which mandated surrender of quantities of liquor held by the individuals on the date of issuance of the above said G.O. He also claims compensation on account of surrender of liquor. In response to the averments made in the writ petition, it is averred by the respondents that liquor surrendered by the petitioner was found unfit for human consumption, necessitating an order by the Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise for its destruction. Accordingly, steps were taken. It is also very specifically averred that no compensation is admissible for the surrendered liquor. Be that as it may fact of the matter being that the liquor surrendered by the petitioner stands destroyed, being unfit for human consumption, the claim for return of liquor as also for compensation have become redundant. Judicial pronouncement handed down by the apex Court in D.L.F. Qutab Enclave Complex Educational Charitable Trust v. State of Haryana[1] relied upon by the learned counsel for the petitioner interprets provisions of Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975 and does not deal with entitlement of a liquor owner for compensation or return of the liquor found unfit for human consumption. Viewed from any angle writ petition fails. Dismissed. NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 01.07.2010 B. Narsinga Rao [1] AIR 2003 SC 1648
