THE HON’BLE SRI JUTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.7354 of 2004 Dated: 24.07.2006 Between: Shankavaram Fisheries Cooperative Society Limited, Shankavaram, rep., by its President M.Appa Rao. … PETITIONER And: The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep., by its Secretary, Irrigation & CAD Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. …. RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.7354 of 2004 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of respondents 1,3 and 4 in permitting the 5th respondent to ply boats for organizing boat shire in Pamba Reservoir beyond permission, which is under the lease of the petitioner society, without issuing notice to the petitioner as arbitrary and illegal. It is the case of the petitioner that it is a Registered Society, existing for the last 30 years. The Society has got more than 200 members and they all belong to fishermen community. The Society was granted lease for doing the fishing operations in Pamba Lake, situated besides the temple of Sri satyanarayanaswamy Devasthanam, Annavaram. The lease was granted in the year 1976, for a period of three years initially, and thereafter the period was extended from time to time. While so, the 5th respondent was granted licence for organizing boat shire in Pamba Reservoir. It is the case of the petitioner that the 5th respondent is organizing boat shire in Pamba Reservoir beyond the permission granted to him and it would disturb their fishing rights. Though an interim order was passed earlier directing the official respondents not to allow the fifth respondent to ply boats by way of boat shire in Pamba Reservoir, if there is no subsisting lease in his facour, however, the same was vacated thereafter, which attained finality in the writ appeal. In view of the fact that the licence granted to the 5th respondent is only for a period of one year, nothing remains to be adjudicated in this writ petition at this length of time, and due to efflux of time the cause in this writ petition does not survive. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. __________ 24.07.2006 sh
