The said writ petition was disposed of with a direction to the respondent to dispose of the representation of the petitioner. Subsequently, a contempt case in C.C.No.324 of 2003 was filed stating that the respondent failed to consider the claim of the petitioner. In the said contempt case, it is reported that no such file, which records promises, as claimed by the petitioner was available and accordingly, the same was closed. Again, the present writ petition is filed to produce the records with regard to the very same file. In view of the fact that the file, which is incapable for production and not traceable as no such file is maintained, which was submitted by the petitioner to the grievance cell of the Chief Minister ten years ago, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. 22nd SEPTEMBER, 2004. kvni To 1 The Principal Secretary, Chief Minister Grievance Cell, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Secretariat, Hyderabad. 2 Two CCs to the Government Pleader for General Administration Department, A.P.High Court Buildings, Hyderabad.(OUT) 3 Two CD copies.
