THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.26043 of 2006 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the inaction on the part of the respondents in considering the request of the petitioners for classifying their agricultural lands as wet lands under ayacut of Paderu Tank of Kummaripalem village, Chittamur mandal, Nellore district in the Irrigation and Revenue records as arbitrary and illegal. It appears, all the petitioners are agriculturists and they have various extents of lands in various survey numbers situated adjacent to Paderu tank. The lands are being cultivated by using water from Paderu tank, but in the revenue records the lands are not classified as wet lands. Even though the water is flowing through the lands of the petitioners, in the revenue records their lands are shown as dry lands instead of wet lands under ayacut of Paderu tank. In this regard, petitioners have made representations to the respondents, latest representation being 30.1.2006 enclosing copies of pattedar passbooks, ventilating their grievances but no action is being taken till date. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the sixth respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer is directed to consider and dispose of the representation filed by the petitioners on 30.1.2006 within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order by issuing notices to the petitioners and hearing them personally. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 15.12.2006 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.26043 of 2006 15.12.2006 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.26043 of 2006 Date: 15th December, 2006 Between: Ganta Govindappa Naidu & others. ..
