IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12333 of 2007 Between: Lakshmipuram Fishermen Cooperative Society, Lakshmipuram registered No.006/ADF, VJA/2006, rep. by its President Goda Narasimha Rao ... PETITIONER a n d The Commissioner of Fisheries, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and others … RESPONDENTS ORDER: This writ petition has been filed by Lakshmipuram Fishermen Cooperative Society, Lakshmipuram represented by its President Goda Narasimha Rao with a prayer to issue an order, writ or direction more particularly in the nature of writ of Mandamus declaring the order of the first respondent passed in memo No.4836/12/2007 dated 05-06-2007 as illegal, arbitrary and violation of principles of natural justice. 2. Rule nisi came to be issued on 26-06-2007. An interim order came to be passed on the even date vide W.P.M.P.No.15369 of 2007 which reads as follows: “On behalf of respondents 1 to 4, a counter affidavit is filed. A perusal of the same discloses that the petitioner-society was granted lease in respect of “Pilleti tank of Lakshmipuram village, for a period of three years up to 30-06-2009.” The requisite amount was also deposited. The impugned order is said to have been passed by the Commissioner on a representation made by the Sarpanch, and to present law and order problem. Such a course is prima facie opposed to the very scheme under the A.P. Co- operative Societies Act. Hence, there shall be interim suspension, as prayed for.” 3. The fifth respondent entered appearance and filed W.V.M.P.No.1486 of 2007 with a prayer to vacate the interim order. When the vacate petition came up for consideration, learned counsel for the vacate stay petitioner submits that cause in the writ petition does not survive as the lease period has been expired by 30-06-2009. 4. The factual aspect of lease being expired on 30-06-2010 is evident from the order passed by this Court on 26-06-2007. In that view of the matter, nothing survives in this writ petition for adjudication. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________________ B. SESHASAYANA REDDY, J July 16, 2010. PN THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12333 of 2007 July 16, 2010
