THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.26298 of 2009 ORDER: It is the case of the petitioners that they belong to Budabukkala Community and they are eking out their livelihood by rearing pigs in their house compound. They established pig smacks 3 to 4 kilometers away from Kavali Municipal limits without giving any cause for the complaint either from the public or from any authorities till date. Their grievance is that the respondents have initiated steps for killing the pigs and destroying the pig smacks, without giving any opportunity, and without providing alternative site as per the judgment of this Court in A.P.ADIMAJATI SEVA SANGHAM v. GUNTUR MUNICIPAL COUNCIL[1]. The first respondent-Commissioner of Kavali Municipality filed a counter-affidavit stating that on 05.12.2009 he conducted a meeting with the pig owners and all the pig owners including the petitioners herein have given an written undertaking that they will drive away the pigs 4 to 5 kilometres away the town limits and requested not to do any harm to their livelihood. The undertaking given by the pig owners, the copies of the press clippings, and the pamphlets printed and issued by Janavignana Vedika, a welfare organisation are also enclosed along with the counter-affidavit. He further stated that all the pig owners were provided house site pattas in a healthy locality and that they are providing all infrastructural facilities on par with other weaker section communities residing in Kavali and that the steps taken by the Municipality are only in the better interest of public and to save them from infectious diseases like chikun gunea, Dengue or G.E/J.E etc. Recording the above counter-averments, and since the same are not rebutted by the petitioners, I am of the view that no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V.RAMANA, J Dated: 26.07.2010 va [1] AIR 1987 AP 193 (D.B)
