Thumu Lakshmi v. Government of Andhra Pradesh
Case brief
What is this about?
Endowment agricultural land lease auction challenge; auction notice dated 4.5.2011 by Sri Chakravarthula Tatacharyulu Trust; Ac.3.70 cents in Sy.No.73, Maddur village, Kovvur Mandal, E.G. District; three-year lease; Section 82 Endowments Act; A.P. Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Lease of Agricultural Lands Rules, 2003; writ of mandamus under Article 226; petitioner Thumu Lakshmi seeking continuance as lessee; interim order in WPMP 17033 of 2011 dated 11.05.2011; vacation applications WVMP 2286 and 2582 of 2011 under Section 151 CPC; writ petition closed as infructuous; no cause survives; no order as to costs.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition has become infructuous: even assuming the lease had been granted, the lease period would have been completed one and a half decades back, so no cause survives for further adjudication.
