He further alleges that he is cultivating paddy crop by utilizing the water from the bore well, which was dug fifteen years ago after obtaining necessary permission from the District Collector. He alleges that on 16.7.2005 at the instance of the Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat, respondents dug another bore well within a distance of 80 feet from the existing Government bore well. Petitioner therefore gave representations seeking redressal, in vain. In this writ petition, he seeks a direction to the respondents to consider his representations.

Be that as it is, now that the representation is pending, first respondent may consider the same and pass necessary orders in accordance with the Act and Rules thereunder. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) June 05, 2007. YS
