It therefore sought a declaration that the action of the respondents in resorting to such removal was illegal. This Court, by interim order dated 21.05.2002, directed the fourth respondent not to remove the soil from the tank bund of Yerra Cheruvu, Ganjikunta Village, Mydukur Mandal, Cuddapah District, for a period of six weeks. The said order was not extended thereafter. Be that as it may, as the fourth respondent remained unserved, this Court by order dated 23.08.2010 permitted the petitioner to take out personal notice to it by way of Registered Post with Acknowledgement Due. In the event of default, the writ petition stood dismissed against the said respondent without further reference to the Court. This direction was given effect to by the Office on 26.10.2010 as the petitioner failed to effect service of notice upon the fourth respondent. Thus, as matters stand, the fourth respondent no longer remains in the array of respondents in this litigation. As the entire case of the petitioner Gram Panchayat is founded on its allegations against the fourth respondent, against whom the writ petition stands dismissed, the case cannot be adjudicated. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed in its entirety. No order as to costs. -------------------------- SANJAY KUMAR,J 25th JANUARY, 2011 PGS/VGSR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.9498 OF 2002 25th JANUARY, 2011
