THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No. 877 of 2009 Dated: 08-10-2009 Between: Cine Prekshakula Viniyoga Darula Sangham, Rep. by its Secretary Sri M.Venugopal Rao. …Petitioner and The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Chief Secretary , Secretariat, Hyderabad and others …Respondents Oral order: (Per GR, J) Cine Prekshakula Viniyoga Darula Sangham, a registered society, assails the order of the State Government in G.O.Ms.No. 369 Home (General- A) Department, dated 18-12-2008, whereby on considering the representations of the A.P. Film Chamber of Commerce, Hyderabad, the rates of Admission in Cinema Theatres as specified in the order were enhanced regarding the rates of Admission in Higher Classes in Air- conditioned and Air-Cooled Theatres without disturbing the rates of Admission in other classes in the theatres in different parts of the State The challenge to the Government order is principally on the ground that the enhancement imposes an intolerable burden on the viewing public. How this imposition constitutes a legal grievance, the petitioner does not choose either to plead or to state at the oral hearing. The power of the Government to determine the rates of admission to theatres is not questioned nor is there any principle of law brought to the notice of this Court qua which the Government’s decision in G.O.Ms.No. 369, Home (General-A) Department, dated 18-12-2008 is asserted to be illegal. Policy choices are normatively within the Legislative or executive domain. Absent a demonstrated Constitutional or Statutory violation or a showing that the exercise of discretion is perverse, no judicial interference is called for. The petitioner failed to establish the illegality or perversity in the exercise discretion by the State in the order in G.O.Ms.No. 369, dated 18-12-2008. On the analysis above, this Court discerns no grounds to interfere. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission. There shall however be no order as to costs. _________________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J _______________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J 8th October, 2009. GRR
