Disposed

Podila Jayasree v. Dr. K. Venkata Ramaiah

Telangana HC18 Feb 2025WA/86/2025

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

Division Bench held that the impugned interim order granting stay pending main writ petitions was a routine procedural order. As it did not finally determine rights, it was not a 'judgment' under clause 15 of Letters Patent. Writ appeals were disposed without costs.

What did the court decide?

Writ appeals disposed of without orders as to costs; Single Judge directed to decide pending writ petitions expeditiously.

Since the common order of learned single Judge passed in batch of Writ Pel-itions is subject matter of challenge, on the joint request of the parties, the matters were analogously heard on admission and decided by this common judgment.

¶262

In this batch of Writ Appeals, the common order dated ll.ll.2024 passed in I.A-No-2 ot 2024 in W.P.Nos. 16967, I9OZl, 19081, I9OB7, 19089, l9l}4, 19113, 19l2B of 2024 and I.A.No.3 of 2022 in W.P.No.44B02 of 2022 is subject matter of challenge.

A careful reading of impugned order shows that the Writ Petitions are still pending and interim order granted by learned single Judge was not vacated ancl applications filed for vacate stay were dismissed. In this backdrop, it is to be seen whether these Writ Appeals can be entertained.

¶278

In The University of Hyderabad, rep. by its Registrar, Central University Campus iF.O), Gachibowli, Hyderabad v. Sadik Hussain and Others2, a Division Bench of this Court considered clause 15 of the Letters patent and opined that it provides a, appeal from a Judgrnent, of single Judge in exercise of original jurisdiction to a Division Bench. The previous judgment of a Division Bench in Shah Babulal Khimji v. Jayaben D.Kania3 was considered and it was held that ,ord_ers falLing und.er categories (iu) and (u) are not^,jt-tflg1n nts' for the purpose of fiting cLppeals prouided under the Letter patent. Categories (iv) and (v) read thus:

¶279

"(iv) Routine orders which are passed to facilitate the progress of the case till its culmjnatron in the hnat judgment.

¶280

(v) Orders which may cause some inconvenience or some prejudice to a parry, but which do not finally determine the rights and obligations of the parties.

o The Supreme Court in a recent judgment in Shyam Sel And Power Limited v Shyam Steel Industrids Limiteda took a similar view

¶301

The Supreme Court laid down the ljlmus test to determine whether order impugned is a J udgment, within the meaning of Letters Patent. if the present rnatter is examined on the anvil of said principles, it will be clear that (i) by impugned order the learned single Judge has not fina1ly decided the question or issue in controversy in the main case, (ii.) thc impugned order has not decided any issue which materially or directiy allects final decision in the Writ Petitions, (iii) the i;npugned order does not have aly impact on a collateral issue or question which was not subject matter of main case.
