PETITIONERS AND 1 The Secretary to Government Government of Andhra Pradesh, Secretariat, HYDERABAD. 2 The Chairman, A.P. Commission for Backward Classes, Hyderabad. 3 M. Narayana Rao. 4 K. Prabhakar Rao (Respondents 3 & 4 are impleaded as per court order dt. 26.9.95 in WPMP 25770/95) .....RESPONDENTS Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court may be pleased to issue any writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus directing the 1 and 2 Respondents to delete the Synonym word of "Salivahana" with the word "Kummara"/ "Kulala" which is already included in the list of Backward Class approved in G.O.Ms.No. 28, Backward Classes Welfare (M1) Department, dated 24-06-1995 and to retain earlier G.O.Ms.No. 1973 Education, Dated 23-09-1970 of the caste "Kummara"/"Kulala" under Group 'B' at Sl.No. 8. Counsel for the Petitioners : MR.K.G.KRISHNA MURTHY Counsel for the Respondents No.1 & 2 : GP FOR SOCIAL WELFARE Counsel for the Respondents No.3 & 4 : Mr.KRISHNAMURTHY NUTHALAPATI The Court made the following : ORDER : The Government Order No.28, dated 24th June, 1995 is challenged by way of this writ petition, by which the Government ordered that the word ‘Salivahana’ be added as synonym to the word “Kummara/Kulala”, which is already notified as Backward Class in G.O.Ms.No.1793, Education, dated 23.09.1970. The petitioners do not dispute that the respondents No.3 & 4 who made a representation to the Commission and got this order passed, also belong to the community of “Kummara/Kulala”, but their grievance is that “Kummara/Kulala” should not be changed into ‘Salivahana’. I am afraid that this Court would not be in a position to go into the question whether ‘Salivahana’ was a synonym to “Kummara/ Kulala”, but it appears that the Government had passed an order on the basis of the recommendations made by the A.P.Commission for Backward Classes and the recommendations have been made by the Commission after hearing all concerned parties including the petitioners. Therefore, this writ petition deserves to be dismissed and it is accordingly dismissed. However, the Commission for Backward Classes is in place. If the petitioners have still any grievance, they can always approach the Commission. Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________ 17th March 2005 BILAL NAZKI, J ajr ASST.
