Petitioner AND The Assistant Director of Fisheries,Khammam and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri M.V. Venu for Sri Kowturu Vinaya Kumar Counsel for Respondents: -- The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent No.1 in taking action on the petitioner’s representation dated 21.07.2010 as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The petitioner claims to be a fisherman and member of Fishermen Cooperative Society (for short ‘the Society’), Pathakarayigudem, Penuballi Mandal, Khammam District. The petitioner averred that in February, 2010, the Society has left fish seed in Raghunayakula tank falling in its area of operation and that when the fish ripened for harvest, respondent No.3 has been seeking to entrust the right to catch the fish to a private contractor for his unlawful gains. The grievance of the petitioner is that the detailed representation made to respondent No.1 on 21.07.2010 to prevent such an action on the part of respondent No.3 has not yielded any action by him. As the petitioner’s grievance is innocuous in nature, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to consider the petitioner’s representation dated 21.07.2010, if received, and act strictly in accordance with law. The decision taken on the representation shall be communicated to the petitioner within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.29192 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 14th September, 2010 GHN
