THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7389 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is an Association of Working Journalists of Guntur District. The petitioner submitted an application, dated 17.03.2009, to the District Collector, Guntur, the 3rd respondent, with a request to give accreditation to its Members, for the year 2009. The grievance of the petitioner is that, no action has been taken thereon, and its Members are facing hardship. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for General Administration Department. The Government framed guidelines to be followed, in the context of giving accreditation to the Journalists. The eligibility of an applicant, with reference to his qualifications, experience and background, needs to be verified. The application is to be submitted by the concerned individual. In the matters of this nature, the Association cannot submit application. It becomes virtually impossible for an Association to furnish the particulars of the individuals and equally the respondents cannot be expected to take any steps, on the basis of the applications. Therefore, the Writ Petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the individual members of the Association to submit applications for accreditation to the concerned authorities in the District. As and when such applications are made, the authorities shall consider them, in accordance with law, and pass appropriate orders, without any delay. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.17-04-2009. GJ
