Item No.33
THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE HIMA KOHLI
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. VIJAYSEN REDDY
W.P.No.22294 of 2019
ORDER: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Hima Kohli)
1. The present petition has been filed by the petitioner praying
inter alia for issuance of a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of
the respondent No.1 in failing to issue certified copies of the order
dated 20.07.2019 passed in Crl.M.P.No.1371 of 2019 in D.V.C.No.10 of 2017, as illegal and arbitrary. Further, the petitioner has sought directions to the respondent No.3/ Registrar (Vigilance), High Court of Telangana to conduct an investigation into the matter.
2. Counter affidavit in opposition to the present petition was filed by the respondent No.1 in November, 2019, stating inter alia that the petitioner had himself stealthily taken away both, the original copy application as also photocopy of the order passed in Crl.M.P.No.1371 of 2019 in D.V.C.No.10 of 2017 dated 20.07.2019 and it was for this reason that the respondent No.1 could not supply the certified copies to him. It has further been stated that the petitioner cannot take advantage of his own wrongful acts and level allegations against the respondent No.1.

3. On enquiring from learned counsel for the petitioner as to the status of the aforesaid proceedings, he states that judgment was rendered in DVC.No.10 of 2017 on 14.08.2019. If that was the case, it was for the petitioner to have taken such a plea in the appeal preferred by him against the said decision. The present petition cannot be used as a handle to blame the respondent No.1, when the stand taken is very clear that it was the petitioner himself who had taken away the original copy application as also photocopy of the order in question.
4. We decline to entertain the present petition, which is accordingly dismissed along with the pending applications, if any.
