THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.22192 of 2010 DATED: 21.09.2010 Between: Ranga Krishna Murthy .. Petitioner And Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary, Endowments, Hyderabad and others. .. Respondents ORDER: By this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions to the 2nd respondent- Commissioner, Endowments Department, Hyderabad, to act upon the representation dated 06.07.2010 submitted by him, requesting to sell him the property in an extent of 10 cents in Sy.No.1576/996, Bairagi Mutt, Nellore, which belongs to the 3rd respondent charitable institution and is in his occupation. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration, Mr. V.T.M. Prasad, learned Standing Counsel for Endowments, brought to the notice of this Court the interim orders passed by a Division Bench of this Court in W.P.M.P.No.15055 of 2005 in W.P.No.11812 of 2005, dated 07.06.2005, which read as under: “In the meantime, it is directed that no sales of Endowment lands shall be effected without the permission of this Court till further orders. No compromises shall be effected under Section 89 till further orders from this Court with respect to Endowment lands. Pendency of this writ petition shall not be an impediment in any way for the State to proceed against the persons who may be involved in any offences relating to sale/compromise of the temple lands under any provision of the Endowments Act. They shall always be at liberty to revise the orders passed earlier, if warranted by law.” Learned Standing Counsel submits that the aforesaid interim orders are still in force and the said writ petition is still pending and in view thereof, the request of the petitioner cannot be considered at present. In that view of the matter, this Court cannot issue directions for consideration of the request of the petitioner, for sale of the endowment property in his favour, at this stage, and the petitioner is at liberty to make such a request, basing on the orders to be passed by the Division Bench of this Court in the said W.P.No.11812 of 2005. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 21st September, 2010 IBL
