THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.21930 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners’ grievance, in this Writ Petition, relates to closure of the well situated on the lands belonging to respondent Nos.3 to 6. The second respondent issued paper publication on 23.07.2007 inviting objections from persons interested, or public representatives, as to why the well which has become useless should not be closed. Certain incidents, including the death of a student because of falling into the well, are referred to in the notice. Sri T.C.D.Sekhar, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, would state that the petitioners’ herein had also contributed for construction of the well, and a sale deed was entered into by the petitioners. The disputes, if any, between the petitioners and respondent Nos.3 to 6 are not matters to be adjudicated in proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The proper remedy, for resolution of such disputes, is by way of a civil suit before the Civil Court of competent jurisdiction. In so far as the action of the second respondent is concerned, Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra and Rayalaseema Areas), on instructions, states that pursuant to the notice dated 23.07.2011, objections have been received, and no action would be taken for closure of the well till the objections are considered and necessary orders are passed thereupon. In view of the submission made by the Learned Government Pleader, I see no reason to grant the relief sought for. The Writ Petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:05.08.2011 usd
