HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.5035 of 2000 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in issuing the impugned memo No. 79/J2/84-22, dated 6.5.1985 and also G.O. Ms. No.568, Education, (CE.II.2) Department, dated 27.11.1998 as illegal and arbitrary. A consequential direction was also sought to direct the respondents to restore the management of Sri Ramachandra Arts & Science College, Kothagudem, Khammam District to the petitioner. The petitioner is the management of Sri Ramachandra Educational Trust, Kothagudem, khammam District, represented by its Managing Trustee. It appears, under the impugned G.O.Ms.No.568, dated 27.11.1998, Sri Ramachandra Arts & Science College, Kothagudem, Khammam District was taken over by the Government and a Special Officer was appointed for managing the same. According to the petitioner, though a show cause notice was issued making certain allegations and though the petitioner submitted a detailed explanation stating that there was no such mis-condcut on the part of the management in maintaining the institution, the respondents have not considered the explanation submitted by the petitioner properly. According to the petitioner, the explanation submitted by the petitioner was not even referred to in the impugned order. In the counter affidavit field by the respondents, the respondents did not dispute this fact. They, however, stated that everything was considered as per the record. Under those circumstances, the impugned orders are liable to be set aside on the ground that the explanation offered by petitioner was not properly considered by the respondents. The writ petition is accordingly allowed and the impugned orders are set aside. However, it is made clear that this order will not preclude the 1st respondent from passing appropriate orders after considering the explanation submitted by the petitioner dated 10.9.1998 and after affording opportunity of hearing the petitioner, as per law. The 1st respondent shall complete this process within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the meantime, status- quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained. No costs. _______________ C.V. RAMULU,J DATE: 23rd November, 2010 pnb
