THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 16695 of 2002 O R D E R: This Writ Petition has been consistently appearing and it was adjourned on 18th, 23rd, 29th March 2010 and 12th April 2010 as none appeared for the petitioners. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Irrigation has produced a copy of the instructions received by her from the Executive Engineer, Drainage Division, Bhimavaram, informing that the obstructions referred to by the petitioners in Kottachedu drain have all been cleared long years ago and that in fact, the drainage concerned has also been observed on 23rd March 2010 and it was noticed that there are no such obstructions of bamboo frames with mats and the drain is clear of any such obstructions. Therefore, the learned Assistant Government Pleader would submit that the cause in this Writ Petition does not survive for adjudication. Since there is no material on record to contradict this assertion made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader, it is proper to infer that the obstructions complained of in the Writ Petition have all been cleared long years ago and hence, the cause does not survive for further adjudication. All that is needed to be observed is that no unauthorized obstruction will be permitted by the officials of the Irrigation Department and that in the event of bringing to their notice by Registered Post of any such obstructions, effective steps will be taken within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of any such complaint, for removal of the alleged obstructions. With this, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 13th April 2010 ksld
