DECIDED FEBRUARY 26, 1958.

Petition for certiorari; procedure. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Alverson. November 8, 1957.

Albert A. Roberts, for plaintiff in error.

Ezra E. Phillips, contra.


A petition for certiorari to review the action of a mayor and city council in discharging a police officer which did not contain or have accompanying it an affidavit that it was not filed for delay only was properly dismissed by the superior court. Code § 19-205; Velvin v. Austin, 109 Ga. 200 ( 34 S.E. 335); Horton-Hughes Furniture Co. v. Broad Street Hotel Co., 22 Ga. App. 89 ( 95 S.E. 373). The record does not show upon what ground or grounds the petition was dismissed but if the judgment was right for any reason it cannot be disturbed.

Judgment affirmed. Quillian and Nichols, JJ., concur.

DECIDED FEBRUARY 26, 1958.
