IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE TWENTY SECOND DAY OF NOVEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND SIX PRESENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.22293 of 1996 Between: B.Bhaskara Reddy. ..... PETITIONER AND 1.The Collector, Guntur District and 2 others. .....RESPONDENTS The Hon’ble Sri Justice Nooty Ramamohana Rao Writ Petition No.22293 of 1996 Order: Since there was no representation on behalf of the writ petitioner when the writ petition came up for hearing on the previous occasion, i.e., on 15-11-2006, the matter was directed to be posted under the caption ‘for dismissal’ today. Unfortunately, even today, there is no representation on behalf of the writ petitioner. The main grievance of the writ petitioner is that there were certain encroachments on the road margin abutting the National Highway No.5 and that the respondent-Roads and Buildings Department has not taken any steps for getting those encroachments removed. The learned Government Pleader for Roads and Buildings makes a statement at the Bar that the encroachments have already been removed, and that the cause in the Writ Petition does not survive any further. Recording the same, the Writ Petition is dismissed, but however, without costs. __________________________ (Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J) 22nd November, 2006 LUR
