It is her case that she obtained pattadar pass books a decade ago and dug a bore well for raising paddy and groundnut crops. Again on 09.05.2010 she dug another bore well. The third respondent appears to have given a complaint to the first respondent. Based on the same, the first respondent issued impugned notice, being R.C.No.B/219/10, dated 18.05.2010. After receiving the same, the petitioner submitted explanation, which is in Telugu. The English translation of the same filed along with the writ petition is as under. I am the resident of Bodiganidoddi village belongs to vaddera community and eking out lively hood by agriculture and agricultural labourer. I am having five acres dry land in Sy.No.149 at Bodiganidoddi village and also had Pattadar Pass Book. Ten years back I had bore well in my land and harvested the paddy and groundnut crops. As having no enough water in the old bore well, on 09.05.2010 newly I drilled the bore well. I do not know that I should not drill the new bore well. As a farmer I drilled the bore well for the crop. As per the orders of the Tahasildar, Bukkarayasamudram, I attended at the office and I explained the details of the bore well. After getting permission from the Government officers, I will use the water from the bore well. Any action can be taken against me if I have utilized the water from new bore well. As the petitioner has already submitted explanation, the writ petition cannot be entertained at this stage. The Tahsildar may consider the explanation of the petitioner keeping in view the question whether any notification is issued under Section 11(2) of the Andhra Pradesh Water, Land and Trees Act, 2002. If there is no such notification prohibiting digging of the bore wells declaring the area as “over exploited area”, the Tahsildar – needless to mention, has to drop further action. The Writ Petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 10.06.2010 vs
