THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2141 of 2008 Date: 07.02.2008 Between: Mallidi Brundavathi and others … Petitioners AND The Govt. of A.P., Rep by Secretary, Transport, Roads & Buildings Dept., Hyderabad. And others … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri V.S.N.Sarma Counsel for respondents: A.G.P., for Transport, R & B. HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2141 of 2008 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to direct respondent No.1 to consider the representation of the petitioners dated 20.12.2007 made in connection with the changed plan regarding construction of railway over-bridge at Gate L.C.No.412 at Anaparthy village and Mandal, East Godavari district. Heard Sri V.S.N.Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Transport, Roads and Buildings. Though the prayer made in this writ petition looks innocuous, learned Assistant Government Pleader brought to my notice and placed a copy of order dated 13.6.2006 passed in W.No.3710 of 2006 wherein the following order has been passed: “The learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents has brought to my notice that the petitioners 3,4,5 and 17 in this writ petition have also filed W.P.Nos.19965, 21917, 21866 and 21915 of 2005 with similar prayer and the same were disposed of by this Court with a direction to follow the due process of law. Hence, no further adjudication is necessary and the writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs.” The petitioners failed to mention in their affidavit filed in support of the present writ petition that they have earlier filed W.P.No.3710 of 2006 and this Court declined to adjudicate the issues raised by the petitioners on the ground that petitioners 1, 3, 4 and 5 filed writ petition Nos.19965, 21917, and 21866 of 2005 and that the same was disposed of by this Court with a direction to follow the due process of law. I am of the considered view that the petitioners cannot approach this Court time and again by suppressing the fact that they have already invoked the jurisdiction of this Court on earlier occasions. Having regard to the conduct of the petitioners in suppressing the material facts, I am not inclined to exercise the discretionary jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is therefore dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.2743 of 2008 filed by the petitioner seeking interim relief is also dismissed. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:07.02.2008 mdaa
