Sobhanadri aged 48 years, R/o. Gandigunta Village, Vuyyuru Mandal, Krishna District. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The District Collector, Krishna District, Machilipatnam. 2 The Superintendent, Prohibition and Excise, Krishna District, Machilipatnam. 3 The Circle Inspector, Prohibition & Excise, Vuyyuru, Krishna District. 4 The Cooperative Inspector, Krishna and Guntur District, Excise Office, Telephone Exchange Road, Gunadala, Vijayawada. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.T.RAJENDRA PRASAD Counsel for the Respondents: AGP FOR PROHIBITION & EXCISE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not taking any action on the representation submitted by the petitioner in spite of repeated representations, dated 03.01.1996, 05.01.1996, 23.12.1996, 17.05.1998, 05.06.2002, 18.04.2002, 10.03.2005, 02.06.2005, 09.01.2008 etc., as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional. Heard Sri T.Rajendra Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The only grievance of the petitioner society is that the neighbouring society, namely, Vuyyuru Toddy Tappers Cooperative Society Limited has illegally trespassed into the area of operation of the petitioner society and doing the business causing loss to it. The petitioner society claims that its area of operation is extended to Gandigunta Gram Panchayat, Murthi Raju Gudem, Kakaninagar, Anandapuram and Venkatapuram, which are hamlets of Gandigunta Revenue Village and that the above mentioned neighbouring society has been unjustly carrying on its business in the area of operation of the petitioner society. Under Section 61(d) of the Andhra Pradesh Cooperative Societies Act, 1964, any dispute touching the constitution, management or the business between the society and any other society, other than a dispute regarding disciplinary action taken by the society or its committee against a paid employee of the society, is liable to be referred to the Registrar for deciding such a dispute. In view of availability of an effective statutory remedy to the petitioner, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition for being adjudicated on merits. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to approach the functional Registrar by raising a dispute and in such an event, the functional Registrar shall entertain the same and decide the dispute after giving required notices and opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and the rival society. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP.No.10106 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 9th APRIL, 2008 kvni
