THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO.25880 OF 2011 DATED:10.11.2011 Between: Gaddam Nagaraju … Petitioner And The Regional Chief General Manager Indian Oil Corporation Limited Indane Area Office Secunderabad, H.No.3-6-436 to 438, 2nd Floor Naspur House, Himayathnagar Hyderabad and others … Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO.25880 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent No.1 - Corporation. The petitioner complains inaction of the respondents in disposing of the petitioner’s representation dated 3.2.2011. A copy of the said representation produced along with the material papers shows that the petitioner’s assert that the land on which the godown connected with Liquid Petroleum Gas Service Agency, in the name of M/s.Parameshwari Gas Agency, was allotted to Gaddam Balaswamy (not made party to this writ petition) and it is actually the joint family property, and that said Gaddam Balaswamy is co-sharer in the joint family along with the petitioner. The representation referred to above gives several details of various properties of the joint family etc., and asserts that the respondents must take action against the said Gaddam Balaswamy by taking an undertaking from him so as to vindicate the petitioner’s rights. The petitioner’s representation primarily seeks the respondents to declare the land over which the godown stands as joint family property. It is not seriously disputed that none of the respondents can adjudicate upon the status of the property as to whether it is a joint family property. The representation of the petitioner, even if allowed to be considered by the respondents, would not result in any conclusive adjudication and as such, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the writ petition pending, in view of the fact that the competent forum for adjudication of the issue of this nature is Civil Court. Thus, giving liberty to the petitioner to approach competent Civil Court for appropriate relief, this writ petition is dismissed. No costs. _______________________ VILAS V.
