THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU and THE HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR Dated: 09-07-2010 WRIT PETITION No. 15447 OF 2010 Between: Kodali Venkatashivaji ... PETITIONER AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh rep., by its Principle Secretary, Revenue (Excise), Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad and five others …RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU and THE HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No. 15447 OF 2010 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) Writ petition is filed to command the respondents to ensure sale of liquor at the rates prescribed. Prima facie being of the view that the writ petition is aimed at promotion of liquor consumption, it was deemed appropriate to direct the learned counsel for the petitioner to produce the petitioner in person to ascertain his bonafide. The petitioner is present in person, but he neither understands English language nor can he speak, leaving no option for us but to avail of services of someone. Thanks to Shri C.B. Ram Mohan Reddy, learned Advocate who has extended his services to us in understanding the petitioner. Crux of the contention of the petitioner is that he purchases liquor for his consumption, therefore, he wants that it should not be sold at a higher price. If he has instance of any transaction over and above the prescribed rate, nothing prevents him to approach the competent authority. Not a case for indulgence in public interest. Dismissed. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 09-07-2010 K. Shyleshi
