THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI W.P.No.14044 OF 2004 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a declaration that the proceedings of the 1st respondent-Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, Guntur dated 24.7.2004, as arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner claims to be a member of the family of the founder trustee. He was appointed as a Single Trustee to manage the affairs of the Anagha Krishnaiah Choultry, vide proceedings dated 15.12.2002, for a period of two years. Under the impugned proceedings the Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, Guntur, while proposing to constitute a new committee under Section 15 of the A. P. Charitable & Hindu Religious Institutions & Endowments Act, 1987, invited applications from the interested candidates. Since the term of the petitioner was subsisting by that time, this Court while issuing Rule Nisi directed that the respondents may proceed with the impugned notice, however, appointments shall not be finalized. When the matter is taken up for consideration, it is brought to my notice by the learned Government Pleader that the term of the petitioner as the Single Trustee has already expired on 16.1.2005, and therefore, it is open to the 1st respondent- Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, to proceed with the constitution of a fresh committee. Admittedly, the petitioner has assumed office as Single Trustee on 16.1.2003, and therefore, the term has expired on 16.1.2005 itself. The learned counsel for the petitioner does not dispute the same. In the circumstances, I do not see any reason to keep the Writ Petition pending any longer. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to take necessary action for appointment of Board of Trustees, strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions & Endowments Act, 1987 and the Rules made thereunder. No costs. _______________ 19th October,2005. Kgr THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI W.P.No.14044 OF 2004 19.10.2005 Between: Anagha Venkata Gopalakrishna Murthy. … Petitioner.
