JUDGMENT

DR. ARUIT PASAYAT, J.- Challenge in this appeal is to the order passed by the Division Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court in Letters Patent Appeals Nos. 184-85 of 2002. The two letters patent appeals were directed against the common judgment of the learned Single Judge dated 11-9-2002 in CC No. 493 of 2001 and CC No. 1211 of 2001. By said order learned Single Judge recorded a finding that the Government of Andhra Pradesh deliberately violated the orders passed by the Court in Writ Petitions Nos. 6511 and 6513 of 1999. It was held that the respondent in CC No. 185 of 2002 had filed a wrong sworn affidavit in Writ Petition No. 6513 of 1999 for which he is liable for perjury apart from other consequences. But the learned Judge took a lenient view in the matter after considering several factors including the unconditional apology.
