HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA W.P. No. 15837 of 2011 DATED: 13.06.2011 Between: K. Venkata Ramanjaneyulu and four others .. Petitioners And The District Collector and six others .. Respondents O R D E R:- The petitioners assert that they own agricultural lands abetting Bode Canal, and during rainy season, they utilize the water from the canal for irrigating their lands. While so, it is stated that some plot owners, during the course of plotting their lands for sale, without obtaining permission from the authorities, converted the Bode canal into road. Thereafter, the petitioners have issued legal notice dated 14.03.2011 to respondent Nos.3 to 6. Now, it is the grievance of the petitioners that even though they got issued legal notice, respondent Nos.3 to 6 have not taken steps to restore the Bode Canal from the land grabbers. Hence, the petitioners have filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions. Having heard the learned counsel for both the parties and having regard to the fact that legal notice dated 14.03.2011 was served on respondent Nos.3 to 6, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: “The 6th Respondent - Tahsildar is directed to pass appropriate orders on the legal notice dated 14.03.2011 said to have been served on him by the petitioners, expeditiously, preferably, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.” Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J 13.06.2011 bcj
