P_et'iti:Q.nisr..._ conifing for Preiimiriary Hearing in' _V'Bf__ 'group _ this 'd.ay,} the Court made the f0iiowin.g.:.=._A U ' petitioner seeks for a writ of mandamus to direct _rVes,ponde"nts to effect redemption of the bonds of the 13%'.i'E'rSDV|E)f'iij"€_F|Vt:tVC:Oi'pO3'EitiOn.
" It is contented that the petitioner being a norninee of the deceased Kuppu Swamy is entitled to if "receive the said payment. WK' thispietvition.
3. One Shri.K.Rajaiah has filed a suit in O.S.No.25660/2007 in the Court or 13"' Adaitionai,-.city Civil Judge, Mayo Hall, Bangalore for a deereeif.,:of.. permanent injunction. In the said suit, orders" "
and 2 have been passed directing:-the'~p.a'rt.,iAes_.V.to'V:rnaintain"5 status quo among other directior'i«s_ :'it\ih'icE'il"'ir.iAciu.des' bonds herein.
4. Learned Cou4'nse'l' the respondent No.1 contends_,,tha:t'*-theigsubject.rna'tteVrV'haying been seized by the City',__t'h_e"'._:other proceedings that having :'bee_n as release of said bonds are concerned,'--.thie_ not entitled for any reiief in A.,.,,fi,.fl..,Adn1'i'ttedIy, the suit has been fiied with regard
--V to the gveyrysame subject matter of this petition. By virtue it 'igof the preserit petition, a mandamus is sought for to direct
-- thellrelease of payment whereas the suit is fiied seeking to "restrain the payment. In view of disputed facts, it is highly inappropriate to grant the reiief prayed for. tie
6. The petitioner is at liberty to agitate the.ir'..|'dég.a| rights in the suit. I find no good reasons to ent'e'rtadVi_n'._j:ti5i_«V5"
petition.
7. For the aforesaid r.eason;:,, 'the petiti.o_n b_§3in'g__"'~., devoid of merits is rejected.
