THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.11829 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner is the owner of Acs.3.05 guntas of land in various survey numbers of Mulkanoor Village, Bheemadevarapalli Mandal, Karimnagar District. His grievance is that the respondents are trying to restore an abandoned tank, by name Mondikunta in the neighbouring Village of Kothapally and the same would result in inundation of his land. He seeks appropriate directions in this regard. On behalf of the respondents, a counter-affidavit is filed by the Tahsildar, Bheemadevarapalli Mandal. According to him, Mondikunta was breached in the recent past in the year 2005 due to heavy rains and the efforts made by the Department to restore it are being thwarted. Reference is made to W.P.No.10210 of 2001 filed by the father of the petitioner seeking direction to prevent filling of breach of the bund of the said tank and dismissal thereof by this Court on 15.11.2000. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Irrigation. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the attempts made by the respondents for restoration of a small irrigation tank. Over past few decades, the Revenue and Irrigation Departments have neglected the irrigation tanks, particularly in Telangana area. It is only in the recent past that efforts were made to restore them. The petitioner does not even allege that any tank is being formed in such a way as to result in submergence of his land. The Irrigation Department has the hydrological particulars of each and every tank and there is no reason to suspect that it would deviate from the same. The petitioner takes advantage of the breach of the tank on account of heavy rains. At any rate, similar writ petition filed by the father of the petitioner was dismissed in the year 2000. It is, however, made clear that the restoration of tank must be strictly in accordance with the hydrological particulars of the same and it should not result in inundation of any area, which is not part of the tank bed. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 04.06.2010. kdl
