IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE FOURTEENTH DAY OF JUNE, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1758 of 2004 Between: Smt. Bhanoth Kamili. … Petitioner And The District Collector, Panchyat Wing, Warangal and another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri D.Sudershan Reddy. Counsel for respondents: AGP for Panchayat Raj for R.1. This Court made the following: ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed questioning final notice dated 9-1-2004, whereby the petitioner was called upon to remit the misappropriated amount shown in show-cause notice dated 6-6-2003. At the hearing, learned counsel for the parties submitted that the petitioner’s term as Sarpanch had expired and, hence, the threatened action of her removal under Section 249(1) of the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, in the event of her failure to remit the said amount, does not exist. In view of the same, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. However, this order does not preclude respondent No.1 from initiating appropriate proceedings against the petitioner for recovery of the alleged misappropriated amount and the right of the petitioner to defend herself against such a move. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.2287 of 2004 is also dismissed and the interim stay is vacated. --------------------------------------- - C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date:14-07-2008 MNR
