By its Secretary to Government, Fisheries Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the petitioner :Sri T.Suryakaran Reddy Counsel for the Respondents : Government Pleader for Fisheries HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1301 of 2011 ORDER: The only grievance of the petitioners’ in this Writ Petition is that respondent No.3 has not been disposing of their application for registration of Fishermen Cooperative Society in respect of Mominapur Village, Maddur Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District. I have heard Sri T.Suryakaran Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, and the learned Government Pleader for Fisheries. According to the petitioners, they have made an application on 06.02.2009 to respondent No.3 for registration of Fishermen Cooperative Society in respect of the above village. They have averred that though nearly one year has elapsed since the time of filing of the application, respondent No.3 has not taken any action. It is not in dispute that respondent No.3 is the functional Registrar who is entrusted with the duty to examine the applications for registration of Fishermen Cooperative Societies. If the petitioners have made their application as claimed by them, there can be no reason for respondent No.3 to dispose of such application in accordance with law. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of with the direction to respondent No.3 to consider the petitioners’ application dated 06.02.2009 in terms of Section 6 of the Andhra Pradesh Cooperative Societies Act, 1964 and Rule 9 of the Andhra Pradesh Cooperative Societies Rules, 1964 and take a decision thereon within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of the main petition, WPMP.No.1595 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
