JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.13211 and 13739 of 2002 Between: N. Narmada Bai & another. … Petitioners (in WP.No.13211 of 2002) T. Lingamurthy & others. … Petitioners (in WP.No.13739 of 2002) AND Govt., of A.P., rep., by its Principal Secretary, BC Welfare Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents (in both the writ petitions) Counsel for the petitioners : Sri C. Damodhar Reddy Counsel for the respondents : AGP for Social Welfare This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION Nos.13211 and 13739 of 2002 COMMON ORDER:- These two writ petitions are ﬁled for a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.4 in not issuing community certiﬁcates to the petitioners, as illegal and arbitrary. The only grievance of the petitioners in these writ petitions is that despite their applying to respondent No.4 for issue of a community certiﬁcate treating them as belonging to BC-B category, he has not been issuing the same. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Social Welfare, on telephonic information received by him, stated that by G.O.Ms.No.11 dated 13.05.2005 Arya Kshatriya community (Are, Arollu and Arevallu) was recognized as BC-B category and that under G.O.Ms.No.41 dated 07.08.2008 the said community is included in BC-D category at Sl.No.34. Since these events have taken place subsequent to ﬁling of the writ petitions, the writ petitions are disposed of with the direction to respondent No.4 to consider the applications of the petitioners in the light of G.O.Ms.No.41 dated 07.08.2008 and issue appropriate community certiﬁcates in their favour, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of both the writ petitions, WPMP.No.17104 of 2002 in WP.No.13739 of 2002 is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 30.10.2008 ES
