P. SONDURBALDOTA, JJ. Date:- 3rd October, 2011 P.C.:- By this petition, the petitioner has prayed for the following reliefs : " a. For a Declaration that the Amendment carried out to the Code of Communidade as listed in Paragraph 6 are ultra- vires to the provisions of Article 348(3) of the constitution of India and for an appropriate Order for striking down the same. b. For a writ of mandamus or a writ in the nature of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction thereby directing the respondents to immediately make available the Authentic translation of the Code of Communidade as required under Article 348(3) of the Constitution of India. c. For an Order of Interim Relief thereby staying the operation of the Amendment carried out to the Code of Communidade listed in Paragraph 6 of this petition." 2. Mr. Kantak, learned Advocate General states that Mr. Egipcio Noronha Rodrigues has already submitted English translation of Code of Communidade to the State Government and the State Government proposes to refer the same to two Senior Advocates and would, thereafter, take appropriate decision regarding English translation of the provisions of the Code of Communidade, 1961. The learned Advocate General states that the entire procedure would be completed within a period of three months. 3. In view of the statement made by the learned Advocate General, which is accepted, the petition, in so far as relief (a) is concerned, does not survive. In so far as relief (b) is concerned, in our considered opinion, the petition is totally misconceived and deserves to be dismissed. 4. The petition stands disposed of accordingly. A. P. LAVANDE, J.
