IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE ELEVENTH DAY OF AUGUST, TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.22884 of 2011 Between: Gurram Venkati … Petitioner And State of A.P., rep., by Chief Conservator of Forests, Forest Department, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Smt. D. Pramada This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.22884 of 2011 ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in seizing the JCB bearing No.AP 15AG 5041, as illegal, arbitrary and in violation of the provisions of the A.P. Forest Act, 1967. The petitioner sought for a consequential direction to the respondents to release the seized vehicle. At the hearing, Smt. D. Pramada, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that her client has filed an application before respondent No.2 two days back for release of the vehicle and that the same is still pending. In my opinion, unless the said application is disposed of by respondent No.2 and the petitioner feels aggrieved by the said order, the cause of action for approaching this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India does not arise. In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.2 to dispose of the application, if any filed by the petitioner, within a period of one week from today. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.27983 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 12.08.2011 ES Note:- Issue CC today.
