CORAM : B.H.MARLAPALLE & N.A. BRITTO, JJ. DATE : 12th October, 2004. P.C. As per the Bailiff's report from the Court of Civil Judge S.D., Vasco-da- Gama, the notice issued by this Court to the petitioner to remain present personally, by Order dated 23rd August, 2004, could not be served on the petitioner-party in person and the report further states that nobody could identify the petitioner or her residential address. The Bailiff therefore returned the unserved 2 Notices The petitioner had addressed a letter to this Court which was treated as Public Interest Petition. An affidavit-in-reply came to be filed on behalf of the respondents and it has been stated that the Directorate of Tourism, State of Goa, has identified and engaged contractors for cleaning of the following beaches in North as well as in South Goa :- North Goa – Nerul, Sinquerim, Candolim,Calangute, Baga Siridao, Bambolim, Anjuna, Ozrant, Vagator, Morjim, Mandrem, Arambol Kerim.

The affidavit further states that an amount of Rs.11,80,345/- per month is being spent by the Tourism Department for cleaning of these selected beach stretches. The Chief 3 Officer of Mormugao Municipal Council has also filed an affidavit-in- reply and confirmed that the nuisance problem raised has been attended to and the garbage and all the waste accumulated on the beach has been cleared off by deploying extra labour force on 6.8.04 and 7.8.04. It appears that the letter addressed to this Court was anonymous and the writer did not want to disclose her identity. Nonetheless, the issues raised in the letter have already been attended to consequent to the notices issued by this Court and the Directorate of Tourism appears to be doing all that is required to be done to maintain the beaches important for tourism development purposes, as clean and safe. 4 In view of the affidavits filed, the petition is hereby disposed of for non-prosecution.
