IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE SEVENTH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND SIX PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.209 of 1998 Between: K.Narsimha Reddy. ..... PETITIONER AND 1.The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary, Food & Agriculture, (Cooperation) Department, Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad, and 6 others. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed questioning the surcharge proceedings in RC.No.1493/94-A, dated 25-02-1997, issued by the fourth respondent as arbitrary and illegal. In fact, against the impugned proceedings, the petitioner has got an alternative remedy of filing an appeal. Instead of availing that remedy, the present Writ Petition is filed. I am of the opinion that for appreciation of surcharge proceedings, it is required to be looked into the record. However, the learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that he may be permitted to withdraw the Writ Petition enabling the petitioner to approach the Co- operative Tribunal by way of filing an appeal. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. However, the petitioner shall file an appeal before the Co-operative Tribunal within a period of four weeks from today and the said appeal shall be entertained by the Co-operative Tribunal without raising any objections as to the limitation. No costs. ---------------------- 07- 07-2006 LUR
