M/S. Balaji Warehousing Co. Pvt. Ltd., Venus Sadan No. 610, v. The State Of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. By Its Principal Secretary

THE HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN AND THE HON'BLE Dr. JUSTICE SHAMEEM AKTHER WRIT APPEAL No.583 OF 2017 JUDGMENT: (per Hon'ble the Acting Chief Justice Sri Ramesh Ranganathan) There is no order passed by the learned Single Judge justifying invocation of the jurisdiction of this Court under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent. As held by a Division Bench of this Court in Kunala Subbarao v. P.Nagaratnayamma1, an intra-Court appeal under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent does not lie against the decision of the learned Single Judge in ordering notice, and in deferring hearing of the application, seeking interim relief, by a couple of weeks. The Judgment of the Division Bench of this Court in Kunala Subbarao1 was followed by another Division Bench of this Court in T.M.Reddy Educational Society v.

State of Andhra Pradesh (Judgment in Writ Appeal No.918 of 2016 dated 29.09.2016). We see no reason, therefore, to entertain this appeal under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent. Sri S.Ramachandra Rao, learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant, expresses urgency, and requests that the learned Single Judge be directed to hear the interlocutory application forthwith, as the contract is likely to be entered by 01.05.2017.

an out of turn hearing, the said request shall be given its due consideration by the learned Single Judge.

The Writ Appeal fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. The miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall also stand dismissed. No costs.
