Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.A.No.1226 of 2011 JUDGMENT: (Per. Hon’ble Sri Justice Nooty Ramamohana Rao) This Writ Appeal under Clause 15 of Letters Patent is directed by the appellant-writ petitioner against the order dated 14.07.2010 passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court dismissing W.P.No.22897 of 1999 filed by him. Learned Single Judge has dismissed the Writ Petition holding that it is not maintainable against the respondent-Vysya Bank, which is a private bank but not a nationalized bank, and it is not an authority falling within the meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution of India. We see no justifiable reason to entertain this Writ Appeal as the learned Single Judge has rightly held that no writ petition would lie against a private bank. However, it is open to the appellant-writ petitioner to pursue all such remedies that are available to him under law. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _______________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J 26.12.2011 Gsn.
