THE HON’BLE SMT JUSTICE T MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K C BHANU Taken up Writ Petition No. 3688 OF 1993 ORDER ( per Hon’ble Smt Justice T Meena Kumari): The present writ petition is filed by one Y. Durvasulu, Naxalite Remand Prisoner, seeking firstly a direction to the respondents authorities to provide pattas to the extent of 2.00 acres of land to each fisherman family; secondly to examine the problems of fisherman and to include them in the Schedule Tribe list as was done in the states of Orissa and Tamilnadu. The record goes to show that though notices were served on the respondents, no counter is filed. Under the above circumstances, the matter is decided basing on the material available on record. Regarding the direction for providing pattas to the fishermen community, this Court is of the view that a direction can be issued to the second respondent i.e., the District Collector, Srikakulam, to consider the applications, if any, pending with regard to the grant of pattas to any fishermen community, on its own course, in accordance with law. Regarding the second limb of the prayer seeking a direction to the effect that the fishermen community should be included in the category of Scheduled Tribes, we are of the view that they have to make a representation to the concerned authority for their inclusion in the list of Schedule Tribes. With the above directions, this writ petition is closed. _________________ T MEENA KUMARI J Dt. 24.1.2006 kvrk ___________ K C BHANU J THE HON’BLE SMT JUSTICE T MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K C BHANU Taken up Writ Petition No. 3688 of 2006 (per Hon’ble Smt Justice T Meena Kumari) 24th January, 2006 06-02-2006 In view of the remarks submitted by the Presiding Officer that on the memo filed by the Addl.
