A letter was received by Chief Justice from harijans living in Thippaya Palli Village, Pullampet Mandal, Kadapa District, complaining that bore was drilled in the village by Zilla Praja Parishad, Kodur, under protective water scheme to supply water to Harijanawada. They stated that it had taken two years after drilling the bore, but water was not supplied to Harijanawada and therefore they have been facing miserable situation and had approached concerned authorities to finish the bore-well work, but there was no response. They also alleged that representation was sent to District Collector, Kadapa, who directed the Executive Engineer of Panchayat Raj, Rajampet, to supply water to Harijanawada immediately. Since nothing was heard, they sent letter to the Chief Justice. 2. Rule nisi was issued. Till date there has been no reply filed on behalf of respondents nor petitioners bothered to take any further action. In these circumstances, we will close this petition, but would like to direct the District Collector, Kadapa, to look into the grievances of the petitioners made in their petition addressed to the Chief Justice, in case their grievances are still surviving and to ensure that whatever is possible in the given facts and circumstances to redress their grievances.
