THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.33686 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to declare the inaction on the part of the respondents in considering the representations made by the petitioners on 10.05.2009 and 27.08.2010 as illegal and arbitrary. 2. In the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is stated that the petitioner owned certain extents of land in Kanekal Village and Mandal, Anantapur District, which are being irrigated by the Tungabhadra Dam Water for the past several years. However, in the recent past, some of the farmers started digging unofficial irrigation channels, resulting in improper distribution of water to the lands of the petitioner. Therefore, the petitioner submitted representations, dated 10.05.2009 and 27.08.2010 to the respondents with a request to take necessary steps in this regard, but no orders have been passed thereon, so far. Hence, this writ petition. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that though representations were made to the respondents, requesting them to take necessary steps with regard to removal of unofficial irrigation channels, no action has been taken thereon and therefore, sought for a direction to the respondents in this regard. 4. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Irrigation contended that appropriate decision would be taken by the 2nd respondent in pursuance of the representations dated 10.05.2009 and 27.08.2010 with regard to the removal of unauthorized irrigation channels. 5. The case of the petitioner is that in the recent past, some of the farmers have dug unofficial irrigation channels and are taking more water, resulting in improper distribution of water to the lands of the petitioner and thereby they are becoming unfit for cultivation. The 2nd respondent has to take appropriate decision on the representations made by the petitioner, after due verification. 6. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to take appropriate decision on the representations dated 10.05.2009 and 27.08.2010 made by the petitioner, after due verification, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If for any reason, the representations made by the petitioner are not available with the 2nd respondent, the petitioner is at liberty to make a fresh representation. No costs. _____________ (K.C.BHANU, J.) Date: 21.12.2011 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.33686 of 2011 Date:21.12.2011 JSU
