THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.9635 of 2005 Dated:09.11.2006 Between 1.Dondapati Jamalamma and others. …..Petitioners and 1. Government of Andhra Pradesh rep., by its Secretary, Irrigation & CAD (PW:NABARD) Dept., Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.9635 of 2005 ORDER: This writ petiton is filed seeking a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in seeking to extend the Ayacut beyond the Ayacut sanctioned by G.O.Ms.No.34, dated 30.03.2002 under Punnavalli Lift Irrigation Scheme on Krishna river, Chandarlapadu Mandal, Krishna District, as illegal and arbitrary. It appears that all the petitioners are ayacutdars under Punnavalli Lift Irrigation Scheme under G.O.Ms.No.34, dated 30.03.2002. An extent of Ac.650 was localized under the said Irrigation Scheme and the lands of the petitioners were included in the ayacut. However, their apprehension is that on the basis of the report filed by 3rd parties, respondents are trying to include another Ac.200 as additional ayacut under the said Irrigation Scheme. If that is being done, it will prejudice the interest of the petitioners and other ayacutdars. The 2nd respondent filed a counter stating that the writ petiton is filed only under some apprehension. There is no political pressure or any interference in the matter and there is no proposal for including additional ayacut of 200 acres to the said Irrigation Scheme. The position has been clearly explained by the respondent at para 7 of the counter. Recording the same, the writ petition is closed. No costs. _________ 9-11-2006 rkk
