HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO AND HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD WRIT PETITION NO.18897 OF 2000 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice B.Prakash Rao) In this writ petition, the petitioner, who is the Chairperson of A.P. State Women Development and Child Welfare Board, Hyderabad, seeks writ of prohibition as against the proceedings initiated by the respondent herein in pursuance of complaint No.544/2000/B.2/Upalok/6748/2000 dated 21/22-06-2000. The main ground urged on behalf of the petitioner is to the effect that having regard to the nature of the post and office held, it would not fell within the mischief by the respondent herein and therefore, no complaint as such cannot be entertained or proceeded with. Apart from other facts and details mentioned upon merits, the main plea raised by the petitioner is to the effect that it has filed an application raising a preliminary objection as to the very jurisdiction of the Court to be decided. However, having regard to the fact that no decision was taken up, she approached this Court by this writ petition. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondent herein which has been sworn to by the Registrar, it is stated that the petitioner did file such application on 20/09/2000 raising preliminary objection with regard to the maintainability of complaint whereupon a notice was ordered and the same is still pending. Further, it was also pointed out in para 3 that the petitioner can agitate all the points in the present petition before the said authority. Having regard to the aforesaid statement made in the counter-affidavit to the effect that the application is pending and the same would be considered on merits after taking into account the objections by the petitioner, it is not necessary for this Court to go into merits or other questions raised in this writ petition. Taking note of the same, the Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of directing the respondent to take up the said application and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law after giving notice and opportunity. It is needless to mention that the petitioner can as well raise all the objections and which will be considered on merits. No order as to costs. _________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, J ____________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 22-10-2009 SKM
