Petitioner AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its District Collector, Machilipatnam and others. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri K. Madhava Redy Counsel for Respondent No.1: Assistant Government Pleader for Cooperation Counsel for Respondent No.2: Sri A.H. Rama Krishna Rao Counsel for Respondent No.3: Sri P. Venugopal The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for the following substantive relief: “…to issue an appropriate writ, order or direction especially one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents 1 and 2 in conducting the public auction and issuing sale certificate dated 24.07.2009 in respect of Ac.0.25 cents in survey No.383/9 of A. Konduru Village, Krishna District, as bad, illegal, without jurisdiction and invalid and consequently declare that the lands belongs to APSRTC and pass such other and further orders…” At the hearing Sri K. Madhava Reddy, the learned standing counsel for A.P.S.R.T.C. appearing for the petitioner, having realised that the impugned sale certificate is amenable to a statutory appeal under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Cooperative Societies Act, 1964, seeks permission of the Court to withdraw the writ petition with two prayers, namely, (i) liberty to be given to his client to file such an appeal, and (ii) to continue the interim order, already granted by this Court on 14.12.2009 pending the writ petition, at least for a reasonable time to enable the petitioner to pursue the remedy of appeal and stay application. Having heard Sri P. Venugopal, the learned counsel for respondent No.3, I find the request of the learned standing counsel reasonable. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal. The interim order, dated 14.12.2009 passed by this Court pending the writ petition, shall continue for a period of two months from today to enable the petitioner to seek an appropriate interim relief before the appellate authority. If such an application for interim relief is filed, the appellate authority shall consider the same strictly in accordance with law. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.34696 of 2009 and W.V.M.P.No.918 of 2010 are dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 29th December, 2010 GHN
