Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.VENKATA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 to 3: SMT.M. BHASKARA LAKSHMI Counsel for the Respondents 4 and 5: None appeared Counsel for the Respondent No.6: None appeared The Court made the following Oral Order: (per Sri Devinder Gupta, CJ) Petitioner states that he is not the judgment debtor and his property has been attached pursuant to a precept which was issued by the Court of Senior Civil Judge, Suryapet to Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad. Instead of receiving the precept, the Central Nazar of the City Civil Court, Hyderabad has forwarded the same to the Central Nazar, District Court, Rangareddy. Therefore, it is urged that the receipt of the precept by the Ranga Reddy District Court is without jurisdiction and consequently the attachment is also without jurisdiction. Petitioner has got an alternative efficacious remedy of filing objections against attachment on all available grounds including the one taken herein and there is no reason that once such objections are raised, the same will not be heard and decided in accordance with law. Therefore, filing of writ petition is mis-conceived. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________________ DEVINDER GUPTA, CJ Date: 25th January, 2005 _______________________ M.
