THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.956 of 2004 ORDER: At the instance of a former Director of the Mori Handloom Weavers’ Cooperative Production & Sales Society Limited, the 1st respondent herein, an inquiry under Section 51 of the Andhra Pradesh Co- Operative Societies Act, 1964 (for short – ‘the Act’), was initiated into its affairs. The Deputy Director of Handlooms & Textiles, the 3rd respondent herein, has taken up the inquiry. After verification of the records, he found that action is warranted against Sri Jana Srisaila Rao, Manager Production; and Sri Ankam Ramalingeswara Prasad, Yarn Section In-charge. Therefore, he addressed a letter dated 14.11.2003 to the then President of the Society requesting him to take disciplinary action against the two employees. The amount involved in the defalcation was pointed out to be at Rs.7,37,043/- and Rs.1,16,300/-, respectively, against the two employees. The petitioner, who is said to be functioning as an Expert Member & Supervisory Counsel as per Section 30-A of the Act read with Rule 21-A of the Rules made thereunder, challenges the said letter. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing for the respondents. The Writ Petition is misconceived on the face of it. In fact, it is the employees mentioned in the impugned letter that should have felt aggrieved by the proposed action. They remained silent. In a way, the petitioner appears to be acting as proxy for them knowing fully well that any attempt made by the employees would have been negatived. While admitting this writ petition, this Court refused to pass interim orders in WPMP No.1260 of 2004 and dismissed the same on 23.03.2004. For all practical purposes, nothing remains in the writ petition. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J 21st October 2010 cvrk
