AP High Court not to give info on court order

By S A Ishaqui

Hyderabad, April 25 : The AndhraPradesh High Court refused to pass an order on a petition filed by one Mr K. Gandaiah, seeking information on why the former principal and district sessions judge of Ranga Reddy district has passed an erroneous order without taking into consideration the merits of the case.

Mr Gandaiah, a resident of Puppalguda in Rajendranagar mandal, filed the petition alleging that the judge ignored the written arguments and memos filed by the petitioner while passing an order in his case.

The petitioner told the court that he sought to know the reasons under the Right to Information Act but his application was rejected by the authorities.

Mr Bojja Tarakam, senior counsel, appearing for the petitioner argued that their main contention was to know why the judge had allegedly committed errors in passing the order and why he omitted to examine patently fabricated documents submitted by the respondents in the case.

A division bench comprising Chief Justice Anil R. Dave and Justice R.Subhash Reddy while refusing to pass an order on the petition disposed of the writ and suggested the petitioner to prefer an appeal on the order of the lower court.
