I have heard Sri R.Raghunandan, learned counsel for the petitioners, and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Mines and Geology. The petitioners claim that they are the owners of the agricultural lands referred to above and that during the year 2008, floods have resulted in deposit of sand and silt in those lands. The petitioners claim that they have made representations dated 22.04.2010; 03.05.2010 and 17.05.2010 respectively to respondent No.2 to permit them to remove the sand and silt to enable them to cultivate their respective lands. The grievance of the petitioners is that respondent No.2 has not disposed of the said representations so far. Having regard to the above grievance of the petitioners, I am of the view that the interests of justice would be met if respondent No.2 is directed to dispose of the petitioners’ representations for grant of permission, in accordance with law, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.15302 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 1st June, 2010 vrn
