This Court, while issuing rule nisi, by order dated 20.05.2003 granted interim suspension of the impugned order and subsequently, the same was made absolute on 12.08.2003. I have heard the learned counsel for both the parties. At the outset, it is to be noticed that Section 29 of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987 has been substituted by Act No.33 of 2007 with effect from 03.01.2008. By virtue of the said amendment Sub-Section (5) has been deleted. Having regard to the said amendment, it is for the respondents to pass appropriate orders afresh in the interest of better administration of the institution or for any other reason to be recorded in writing. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the Writ Petition is disposed of leaving it open to the respondents to pass a fresh order in case necessity thereof arises. No costs. ____________ Date: 21.10.2010 G. ROHINI, J Ivd
