THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH W.P.No.7521 of 2005 ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner that he is the absolute owner, possessor and pattadar of land admeasuring Ac.5-10 cents in survey No.1/A situated at Doodagonda Village, Manoor Mandal, Medak District eking out his livelihood by cultivating the said land. Since, the open well dug by his ancestors dried up, he dug a bore well about seven to eight years prior to the filing of the writ petition. Thereafter, a complaint was filed before the Mandal Revenue Officer by the fourth respondent and pursuant to the said complaint, the bore well of the petitioner was seized. Therefore, the petitioner filed an application in Form No.2 and also sought orders from the Mandal Revenue Officer by depositing an amount of Rs.1000/- through challan bearing No.6280 dated 07.03.2005 and also enclosed the proof of ownership of the land through xerox copy of the pattadar pass book. It is alleged in the complaint of the fourth respondent that the petitioner dug a bore well near to his well, which water is used for drinking purpose and in fact Mandal Revenue Officer conducted enquiry and submitted a report stating that the allegations in the said complaint are false and seizure of the bore well was erroneous. I have perused the proceedings of the Mandal Revenue Officer, Medak District addressed to the Deputy Director, Ground Water Department, Sangareddy dated 09.03.2005 wherein the Mandal Revenue Officer recommended for issuance of necessary permission to the petitioner for digging the bore well. Admittedly, bore well was said to have been seized without passing any orders. Therefore, this Court granted interim direction on 20.04.2005 to release the bore well of the petitioner enabling him to draw the water for the standing crop in his land. As no counter is forthcoming from any of the respondents, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to seize or close the bore well without following the due process of law. No costs. V. ESWARAIAH,J Dt. 31.03.2011 lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH W.P.No.7521 of 2005 Dt. 31.03.2011
