IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No :2759 of 2002 Dated: 04.07.2007 Between: 1.E.Laxmaiah Setty and 10 others ..... PETITIONERS AND 1.The Union of India, represented by its Secretary, Ministry of Communications, New Delhi and 5 others …RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.2759 of 2002 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring that a policy decision of the Government of India is binding on respondents 2 to 6 and consequently sought a direction to respondents 2 to 6 to shift the telephones of the petitioners, forthwith, as requested by them in implementation of policy decision of the Government of India. The main grievance of the petitioners is that in spite of the fact that they made applications on 03.01.2002 seeking to shift their respective telephones to their new addresses as per the policy decision of the Government of India, the respondents failed to consider the same and no orders have been passed thereon. Respondents though served did not choose to file any counter-affidavit. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I consider it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to consider the applications of the petitioners submitted on 03.01.2002 and pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 04-07-2007 Gsn.
