THE HONOURABLE MRS. JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT APPEAL No. 876 of 2007 ORAL ORDER (Per T. Meena Kumari, J) The present Writ Appeal is filed challenging the orders of the learned Single Judge dated 18.7.2007 passed in W.P.No.6937 of 2007, which was filed seeking a writ of mandamus to declare the orders of the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Prakasam District in D.Dis.E2/2318/2005, dated 13.3.2007 as illegal. Heard Sri Koka Raghava Rao, learned senior counsel for the appellant, the learned Govt. Pleader for Assignments and also Mr. M.V. Subba Reddy, the learned counsel for the respondent No.4. It has been contended by the learned Senior Counsel Mr. Koka Raghava Rao that the Writ Petition was dismissed by the learned Single Judge at the admission stage even without filing of the counter by the respondents. We have perused the order of the learned Single Judge and it reveals that the learned Govt. Pleader has sought time for filing the counter and it was refused. The order of the learned Single Judge further reveals that on 5.4.2007, though the learned Asst. Govt. Pleader for Assignments sought adjournment to get instructions, on 5.6.2007 the matter was heard and Writ Petition was disposed of on 18.7.2007 by the learned Single Judge. Under these circumstances, it would suffice if the order of the learned Single Judge is set aside by giving an opportunity to the learned Govt. Pleader to file counter within a period of two weeks from today and with a further direction to the Registry to post the Writ Petition before the learned Single Judge hearing the matters. Ordered accordingly. _______________________ T. MEENA KUMARI, J ______________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 22.1.2009 CHV
