PETITIONERS AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep., by its Secretary, EFS & T Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and four others ... RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SRI ANIL R. DAVE AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 26422 OF 2009 ORDER: (per Sri C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy, J) This writ petition is filed by some of the villagers of different villages coming under Ramunigundla Thanda Gram Panchayat, Bibi Nagar Mandal, Nalgonda District. They felt aggrieved by the location of the proposed power project by respondent No.5. Their main grievance is that establishment of power project based on municipal solid waste causes severe air and water pollution, apart from rendering surrounding agricultural lands unfit for cultivation. At the hearing, Sri K. Srinivasa Murthy, learned Standing Counsel for the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board submitted that consent for establishment has already been granted by the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board and that questioning the said order, some of the aggrieved persons filed a statutory appeal before the appellate authority constituted under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. Since all the issues which are raised in this writ petition are stated to be the subject matter of appeal before the appellate authority, we do not see any reason to entertain this writ petition. The petitioners shall be at liberty to get themselves impleaded in the pending appeal and seek appropriate orders therein. We are sure that if such an application is filed, the appellate authority will entertain and dispose of the application and permit the petitioners to raise all legally sustainable objections in the pending appeal and pass appropriate orders. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP No. 34404 of 2009, filed by the petitioners for interim relief, is also dismissed. ANIL R. DAVE, CJ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 04-12-2009 ks
