Further it is stated that in view of the directions of this Court in W.P.No.23597 and 2497 of 1999 dt.22-12-1999, the appeal was posted for dismissal by the III-Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad and the petitioner filed W.P.No.6235/2000 before this Court challenging the order dt.3-6-99 passed by the Chief Rationing Officer, Hyderabad, on the ground that as per G.O.Ms.No.38 (L.A. and J.Courts C) Department dt.11-3-1998, there was no Court of Appeal constituted. This Court passed an order on 11-4-2006 in W.P.No.6235/2000 stating that since the appellate authority i.e., the Special Judge had been notified as Appellate Authority, the said appeal to be heard by the said Special Judge. Further specific stand had been taken that after disposal of the above Writ Petition, neither the petitioner nor his Counsel received any notice nor intimation from the appellate Court regarding posting of the appeal and since no notice was served either on the petitioner or on the Counsel, they could not attend the appellate Court. Further it is the case of the writ petitioner that in view of the conditional stay order, the petitioner gave Bank Guarantee for the value of goods to the respondent and every year the petitioner used to attend the Office of the respondent for extension of the Bank Guarantee by addressing a letter. On 22-11-2007 the petitioner went to the Office of the respondent for extension of the Bank Guarantee but the respondent was (sic. has) informed that there is no need for extension of Bank Guarantee as he received information that the appeal filed by him had been dismissed.

Certain observations made by the appellate Court also had been referred to and it is stated that such observations are not supported by the proceedings of the Court.

Hence, in such circumstances, a Writ of Certiorari had been filed to call for the entire records of the Appellate Court in Criminal Appeal No.243/06 Old E.C. Appeal No.56/99 along with the Court proceedings and pass appropriate orders. 7. It is no doubt true that the learned Counsel placed strong reliance on the decision of the Apex Court in State of U.P. case (1 supra). The main grievance of the writ petitioner is that in the light of the said order made by the Appellate Court, his Bank Guarantee is going to be encashed by tomorrow. Relating to the merits and demerits of the matter, this Court is not inclined to express any opinion, but however, to enable the writ petitioner to invoke the appropriate remedy under Section 397 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, let not the Bank Guarantee be encashed for a period of ten days. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. 8.
