The Writ Appeal is filed against the order passed by the learned single Judge in Writ Petition No.10972 of 2004, dated 19.8.2004. 2. The respondents herein filed the above Writ Petition seeking Writ of Mandamus to declare the Circular No.CO.PRS.IRP.93-94/101, dated 12.4.1993 and consequent letter dated 18.8.1993 as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional. The learned single Judge, after considering the matter, found that the order was not preceded by any notice and on that ground allowed the Writ Petition. Against the said order, the present Writ Appeal has been filed. 3. The learned counsel for the appellants submits that the order of the learned single Judge is not sustainable inasmuch as it is always open for the Bank to issue notice and take appropriate action. 4. We are not inclined to clarify the situation. The only ground on which the order was set aside was that there was no notice to the respondents herein before passing the Circular dated 12.4.1993 and issuing the letter dated 18.8.1993 and we do not find any infirmity in the order passed by the learned single Judge. 5. Accordingly the Writ Appeal is dismissed at the admission stage. No costs. ------------------------------- (G.BIKSHAPATHY, J.) 15th March, 2005. ------------------------------- SSR (P.S.NARAYANA, J.)
