THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2593 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed with the prayer, which reads as under: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, the petitioner herein prays that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ and direct the respondents to act in accordance with law and forbear from interfering with the activities of the petitioner society at Premises No.25-9-13/1, Seethannapeta, Gandhi Nagar, Vijayawada, Krishna District, particularly the provision of card room where the members and guests of the petitioner are allowed to play the game of rummy with stakes and by syndicate.” It is the case of the petitioner that it is a society and it has developed a large chunk of land under the name and style of “Mango Bay Resorts” as a part of providing cultural and recreational facilities to the members of the flats and the residents of the gated community. Its grievance is that the respondents are interfering with the lawful activities, which are undertaken as a part of recreation facility provided to the members in the premises of the petitioner society. When the matter is taken up on 08.02.2011, it was adjourned to enable the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents to get instructions. Today, when the matter is taken up, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents that there are no complaints against the petitioner society and there is no interference by the respondents. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that this Court has disposed of similar matters in view of judgment of the Division Bench of this Court in the case of TWIN CITIES CINEMA CULTURAL CENTRE v. COMMISSIONER OF POLICE[1], in which, it held as under: “Therefore, the police authorities cannot obstruct the writ petitioner-Club from conducting card room where the members and guests of the writ petitioner’s cultural center are allowed to play the game of rummy with stakes/syndicate (thirteen card game). At the same time, we make it clear that the police is always at liberty to enter the premises and check as to whether the cultural center of the Club is conducting card room where the members and guests of petitioner’s cultural center are playing the game of rummy with stakes/syndicate (thirteen card game) for the purpose of verification. If they receive any intimation, the Police may enter the club and verify the same and proceed further if the members and guests of writ petitioner’s cultural center play other than the game of rummy with stakes/syndicate (thirteen card game), the police authorities are also at liberty to proceed with the cases, which are already registered. The writ appeal is disposed of accordingly.” A copy of the said judgment is placed on record. Following the same and as it is stated by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home that there are no complaints against the petitioner society and there is no interference by the respondents, this writ petition is also disposed of with the direction to the respondents not to interfere with the lawful activities, of the petitioner society, including playing cards game of rummy by its members. However, it is made clear that if any unlawful activities are undertaken in the premises of the petitioner society, this order will not preclude the respondents to take appropriate steps in accordance with law. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 14th FEBRUARY, 2011. kvni [1] 2002(5) ALT 805 (DB)
