THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8750 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner is a Fishermen Cooperative Society. It is stated that its members were granted D-Form pattas for an extent of Acs.50.00 cents in Survey Nos.177 to 180 and 190 to 203 of Pulaparru Village, Mandavalli Mandal, Krishna District. It is also stated that the members have developed the land into fish tanks and are eking out livelihood. Their grievance is that the respondents have demolished the bund of the fish tanks rendering them unfit. It is complained that the action of the respondents is contrary to the orders contained in G.O.Ms.No.120, dated 05.10.1999. Respondent No.2 filed a counter-affidavit. It is stated that the land, which was assigned to the members of the petitioner society is a part of Kolleru Lake and on noticing it, the proceedings were initiated for cancellation of D-Form pattas. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for the respondents. The question as to whether the lands that were assigned to the members of the petitioner society formed part of Kolleru Lake and whether there exists any prohibition for establishment of fish tanks would have been considered by this Court, had the pattas granted in their favour been in tact. In the counter-affidavit, it is categorically stated that the pattas have been cancelled. Though the petitioner urged that no notices have been issued to its members before cancellation that would be a ground for them as and when the cancellation itself is challenged. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner society to pursue the remedy vis-à-vis the cancellation of pattas. The respondents shall furnish the orders of cancellation of pattas to the members of the petitioner society, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J 5th NOVEMBER, 2009. kvni
