PETITIONER AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Secretary for Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development & Fisheries (Fish II), Secretariat, Hyderabad And others .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICEV.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION No.6105 of 2005 ORDER: Petitioner is a fishermen cooperative society, statedly having 300 members on its rolls. They are aggrieved by proceedings of second respondent dated 22.9.2003 and consequential orders of third respondent demanding certain amounts towards rentals. Therefore, they filed instant writ petition seeking invalidation of proceedings of District Collector, East Godavari District, Kakinada, and consequential notice of third respondent. Petitioner society was granted fishing rights in respect of Nalla Cheruvu (Nalla Tank) situated at Rangampeta village in East Godavari District, for a period of three years from 1996-1997 to 1998-1999. Rent, which was initially fixed at Rs.7,610/-, was enhanced to Rs.8,760/- for 1997-1998. There was further renewal of lease of tank for a period of four years from 01.7.1999 to 30.6.2003 at enhanced rental of Rs.20,000/- per annum. Aggrieved thereby, petitioner made presentation. Their contention is that Rangampeta being drought prone area, there cannot be enhancement of rent more than 10%. When there was no proper reply from respondents, it appears, petitioner society filed writ petition being W.P.No.10484 of 2002. The same was disposed of by this Court, directing respondents to consider representation. Even before the same is pending, District Collector issued impugned orders for two fasli years 1413 (2003-2004) and 1414 (2004-2005). Respondents have not filed counter affidavit. However, learned Assistant Government Pleader has placed before this Court proceedings of District Collector in PRCC No.3000-A3/2004, dated 01.4.2005, whereby and whereunder in partial modification of the orders dated 22.9.2003 (impugned in this writ petition), rentals were revised. As per the revised rates, petitioner is required to pay an amount of Rs.16,233/- for Fasli year 1413 and Rs.17,856/- for Fasli year 1414 and so on. Learned Assistant Government Pleader also brought to the notice of this Court that as per the instructions sent by Assistant Director of Fisheries, Kakinada, in obedience to the proceedings of District Collector dated 01.4.2005, petitioner society already paid revised rentals. The same is recorded. The proceedings of District Collector dated 01.4.2005, is made part of the record. In view of the fact that grievance of petitioner has been redressed by District Collector by issuing revised proceedings as stated herein above, nothing survives in this writ petition for adjudication. The writ petition, for the above reasons, is accordingly disposed of. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) August 12, 2009 YS
