IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY MONDAY, THE TWENTY NINETH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY WRIT PETITION No.889 of 2002 Between: A.G.Khan. … Petitioner And Regional Transport Officer, Srikakulam, Srikakulam District. … Respondent Counsel for the petitioner: None. Counsel for the respondent: AGP for Transport. This Court made the following: ORDER:- This Writ Petition is ﬁled for a Writ of Mandamus to set aside Memo in Rc.No.1424/A1/2001, dated 29-12-2001 and direct the respondent to permit the petitioner for replacement of the proposed vehicle bearing registration No.AP 37U 1140 with a seating capacity of 38 in all in the place of the existing vehicle bearing registration No.AP 30T 2347 with a seating capacity of 36 in all. At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. The leaned Assistant Government Pleader for Transport placed before me a fax letter dated 25-9-2008 sent by the Deputy Transport Commissioner, Srikakulam, to the learned Government Pleader for Transport, wherein it is stated that the vehicle AP 30T 2347, which was transferred in the name of the petitioner, was seized by the Financier-M/s.Sri Vasavi Lakshmi Financiers, Salur, and a fresh Registration Certiﬁcate was issued in the name of the Financier with eﬀect from 10-8-2002; and that, at present, the said vehicle stands in the name of Sri P.Appala Naidu, Bus owner, Jonnalapadu of Srikakulam District. As regards vehicle bearing No.AP 37U 1140, it is stated that the said vehicle is not enrolled in Srikakulam District rolls. Inasmuch as the petitioner ceased to be the registered owner of the vehicle bearing No.AP 30T 2347, the question of the respondent permitting the petitioner to replace the said vehicle with another vehicle does not arise. The Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed. ------------------------- ----------- C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date: 29-9-2008 MNR
