NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18224 of 2002 Date: 13.02.2008 Between: K.Guru Bramhachari … Petitioner AND Divisional Forest Officer, Giddalur, Prakasam District and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18224 of 2002 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for the following substantive relief: “For the reasons stated above, the petitioner prays that it is just and necessary that this Hon’ble court may be pleased to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ or order or direction, declaring the action of the respondents 2 to 4 in locking the shop of the petitioner’s carpentry shop situated at Besthavaripet, Besthavaripet Mandal, Prakasam District and preventing the petitioner from carrying on his business i.e. carpentry work in the said shop with the permit wood as arbitrary, contrary to the provisions of the A.P. Forest Act and the Rules made thereunder without jurisdiction and unconstitutional and consequently direct the respondents to open the said shop by removing the lock and allow the petitioner to do his carpentry work with permit wood kept in the shop forthwith further direct the respondents to compensate the loss sustained by the petitioner from 30-6-2002 in view of the respondents preventing thepetitioner from carrying on his carpentary work in his shop.” There is no representation for the petitioner. A perusal of the record shows that on 30.09.2002, this Court granted interim direction to the respondents to remove the lock on the premises of the petitioner by giving liberty to them to take action against the petitioner, if any illicit timber was found in the premises. In view of the above-mentioned interim order, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous. C.V.
