Vittaiah … Petitioner And The District Collector Ranga Reddy District Lakdi-ka-pool, Hyderabad and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO.1568 OF 2011 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) Lokayukta has dismissed the complaint of the petitioner in view of pendency of a writ petition before the High Court. We are of the opinion that given the nature of the controversy, petitioner has to choose one forum. Institution of cases in two different courts in the given facts and circumstances of the case amounts to multiplicity of proceedings unnecessarily. However, option can be exercised by the petitioner himself. Should he choose to withdraw the pending Writ Petition No.17098 of 2009 in such an eventuality he shall be free to approach the Lokayukta once again or any other forum of the competent jurisdiction. Disposed of. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 29-1-2011 B. Narsinga Rao
