THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23449 of 2002 Date: 11.07.2007 Between: V. Ramadas … Petitioner AND The Commissioner of Endowments, Government of A.P., Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri E. Venkata Rao for Sri G.V. Shivaji THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23449 of 2002 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to set aside the proceedings for constitution of the Trust Board to Pasarlapudi Choultry (Kasturi Choultry) situated in Pasarlapuri Village, Mamidikuduru Mandal, East Godavari District without following the procedure prescribed under Section 15 of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987 and Rules made thereunder. At the hearing, Sri Eathakota Venkata Rao, learned counsel representing Sri G.V. Shivaji for the petitioner and also the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Endowments and Civil Supplies submitted that in view of the expiry of the term for which the Trust Board was constituted, the writ petition has become infructuous. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, says that though the petitioner belongs to the founder family, his claim for appointment as Chairman of the Trust Board was ignored. Since the term for which the Trust Board was constituted which is assailed in this writ petition has already expired, the said issue cannot be gone into this writ petition. The writ petition is therefore dismissed as infructuous. No costs. However, it is open to the petitioner to ventilate his grievance before appropriate forum as and when the respondents seek to constitute a Trust Board without considering his claim. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 11.07.2007 ES
