JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Sri Raghvendra Singh Chauhan)
By order dated 05.10.2020, this Court had taken cognizance
of a letter sent by Mrs. Ramya Rao Regulapati, wherein she has
pointed out that despite the existence of the Telangana State
Commission for Women, no Chairperson was appointed to the said
Commission.
Mr. Harender Prashad, the learned counsel for the State,
submits that by G.O.Ms.No.20, Department for Women, Children,
Disabled and Senior Citizens (Schemes-I), dated 27.12.2020, in
fact, the State Government has appointed Smt. Vakiti Sunitha
Lakshma Reddy, as the Chairperson of the said Commission.
It has further appointed the other Members of the Commission.
In order to buttress his plea, the learned counsel for the State has
submitted a copy of the Government Order. The same shall be
taken on record.
Considering the fact that not only the Chairperson, but even
the other Members of the Commission have been appointed by the
above mentioned Government Order, the case has become
infructuous.
Therefore, the WP(PIL) is, hereby, dismissed. There shall be
no order as to costs.
The miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand
closed.
