LOKUR AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 30696 OF 2011 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Madan B. Lokur) 1. The petitioner has filed this petition apparently in public interest requiring the respondents to take steps to remove the encroachments from Chennuru Pedda Cheruvu situate in Survey No. 488 of Chennuru Village, Dagadarthi Mandal, SPSR Nellore District. 2. The petitioner made a representation to the Joint Collector, SPSR Nellore District on 25-10-2011 and an endorsement has been made on that representation by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kavali to the Mandal Revenue Officer, Kovuru Mandal to verify and take necessary action to ensure that no encroachment takes place on the tank any further and to also address the Executive Engineer (ICAD) and the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Kavali in this regard. 3. The petitioner has stated, in our opinion, wrongly, in paragraph 5 of the affidavit that no action has been initiated against the encroachments. As mentioned above, some action has been taken in this regard by the Revenue Divisional Officer. 4. Instead of rushing to this Court, the petitioner should have made enquiries with the Revenue Divisional Officer to find out the progress on the representation and the action taken pursuant thereto. 5. We are not inclined to entertain the writ petition without the petitioner making enquiries with the Revenue Divisional Officer about the progress made with regard to removal of the encroachments. 6. The writ petition is dismissed. 7. The miscellaneous application also stands dismissed. MADAN B. LOKUR, CJ SANJAY KUMAR, J 28-11-2011 ks
