The petitioners sought for a direction to the respondents not to demolish the said houses. At the hearing, the learned Government Pleader for Forests submitted that though the petitioners own the lands in the survey numbers mentioned in the writ petition and have raised certain sheds therein, they are permitted to carry on traditional cultivation only without allowing them to raise bunds for fish culture, as those lands are situated within the +5 contour area of Kolleru wild life sanctuary. He further stated that the structures, which were raised by the petitioners, were meant for storing fish feed and staying of the watchmen and that the said structures have not been demolished. He further stated that the respondents have merely demolished the bunds without affecting the petitioners’ said structures. In view of the above submissions of the learned Government Pleader, the writ petition is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 05.08.2010. ES
