THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY W.P.No.19612/2002 Date of Order: 10-2-2011 Between: 1. Buddaraju Venkata Narasimharaju and others …Petitioners and 1. The District Collector, Khammam and others. ..Respondents The Court made the following Order: THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY W.P.No.19612/2002 Oral Order: The petitioners are ayacutdars under Ramanna Kunta (tank), popularly known as “Ramavaram Kunta”. The main grievance of the petitioners is that the Revenue Inspector, Munuguru (fifth respondent) illegally cut the bunds by permitting the fifth respondent to draw the water from Ramavaram Kunta for cultivating his lands. Due to that, the crop raised by the petitioners was damaged for want of water. They gave representation to the Mandal Revenue Officer, Manuguru, on 17-9-2002 for taking suitable action, but no action has been evoked. They also lodged a complaint with the police of Manuguru on 18-9-2002. The Sub- Inspector of Police told the petitioners that as the Revenue Inspector cut the bunds, the revenue officials have to take action. Hence, they filed the present writ petition seeking a writ of Mandamus directing the respondents not to cut the ayacut under Ramanna Kunta (tank), known as “Ramavaram Kunta”. This Court while admitting the writ petition on 7-10- 2002, by way of interim order in WPMP No.24634/2002 directed the respondents 1 to 4 to ensure that the water in the tank in question is used to irrigate the registered ayacut only. In spite of issuing aforesaid direction, no counter-affidavit has been filed by the respondents. Since the interim order is in force from 7-10-2002 till date, and the fifth respondent has not approached this court for vacating the interim order and claimed that he had a right to draw the water from the tank, the writ petition is disposed of interms of the interim order dt. 7- 11-2002 directing the respondents 1 to 4 to ensure that the water in the tank in question is used to irrigate the registered ayacut only and also ensure that the same cannot be used to irrigate other than registered ayacut. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J. Dt.10-2-2011 kmr
