IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE NINETEENTH DAY OF JANUARY TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.413 of 2011 Between: G. Prasada Rao ..... Petitioner AND The Andhra Pradesh State Agro Industries Development Corporation Ltd., Hyderabad & another. .....Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri Venkateswarlu Sanisetty Counsel for the respondents : Sri B. Thimothi The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.413 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside election notification dated 11.01.2011 issued by respondent No.2. At the hearing, Sri Venkateswarlu Sanisetty, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that respondent No.2 has committed procedural irregularity in issuing the election notification for election of General Secretary to the Central Union of A.P. State Agro Industries Corporation Employees’ Union. He is, however, unable to place before the Court whether by the said action respondent No.2 has violated any of the provisions of a statutory enactment. As the dispute arises in respect of election to the employees’ union, which does not fall within the definition of State or its instrumentalities under Article 12 of the Constitution of India, such a dispute is not amenable to the writ jurisdiction of the Court, unless the petitioner is able to plead and establish violation of any of the statutory provisions or infringement of his constitutional or legal right. As the petitioner has alleged violation of byelaws, which are neither enforceable through a writ petition nor having the force of law, the writ petition cannot be maintained. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to avail appropriate legal remedy before the competent forum for redressal of his grievance. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.513 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 19.01.2011 ES
