IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE TWENTIETH DAY OF OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.14876 of 2010 Between: B. Venugopal Reddy & others. ..... Petitioners AND The Tahsildar, Garladinne Mandal, Anantapur District .....Respondent Counsel for the petitioner : Sri N. Aswarthanarayana Counsel for the respondent : AGP for Revenue The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.14876 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondent in interfering with/closing the tank (Uta Cheruvu) of Kothapalli Village, Garladinne Mandal, Ananthapur District, as illegal, arbitrary and without jurisdiction. In the counter affidavit filed by the respondent, he has denied any attempt to close the abovementioned tank. Sri N. Aswartha Narayana, learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submitted that after filing the writ petition, the respondent has closed the existing nala through which the petitioners are irrigating their lands. As no relief with respect to the said nala is claimed in the writ petition and in view of the denial of the petitioners’ allegation that the tank is sought to be closed by the respondent, the cause in the present writ petition, as it is conceived, does not survive for adjudication. However, if the petitioners feel aggrieved by the subsequent action of the respondent in allegedly closing the nala, they shall be free to avail a fresh remedy. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.18733 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date: 20.10.2010 ES
