THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.20452 of 1999 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the alleged action of the respondents in making efforts to widen the Cheruvu Varava Kaluva (Chinna Kaluva) situated at Thirumalakuppam village, Puttoor Mandal, Chittoor District, without following due process of law, as arbitrary and illegal. The petitioners claim to be the agriculturists having their lands situated adjacent to the channel in question and it is alleged that widening of the said channel would effect their lands. In response to the Rule nisi ordered, the Mandal Revenue Officer, Puttoor, filed a counter affidavit stating that the writ petition is filed only on account of rivalry between two groups formed in the village. It is to be noted that this Court while directing Rule nisi by order dated 30.12.1999 directed the respondents not to proceed with the proposed widening of the channel, which continued to be in operation althrough. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the respondents to take up the work of widening/repairs to the channel following due process of law, if the need for widening/repairs to the channel still subsists. No costs. ____________ (G. ROHINI, J). 13th June, 2007. Kgr THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.20452 OF 1999 13th June, 2007. Between: E. Dhananjaya Naidu and others. .. Petitioners.
