On perusal of the prayer made in the writ petition, the petitioner is seeking to prohibit respondent No.1 – the Deputy Commissioner, Vijayanagara, from proceeding with the suo-moto proceedings. Even the prayer is very bald and vague. Under these circumstances, the petition stands dismissed. Sd/- (M.G.UMA) JUDGE EM CT:ANB List No.: 2 Sl No.: 15
