PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, Khammam, and fourteen others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.25151 of 2004 O R D E R: When the miscellaneous petition is taken up for consideration, at the request of the learned counsel for both the parties, the writ petition itself is heard. As can be seen from the material on record, the only grievance of the petitioners appear to be that the respondents 1 to 6 have failed to give police protection to the lands belonging to the petitioners for the purpose of harvesting paddy, sugar cane and other crops. The allegation in this writ petition is that the respondents 7 to 15 have been interfering with the agricultural operations of the petitioners and the official respondents 1 to 6 have failed to take any steps to restrain them. Having heard the learned counsel for both the parties, without expressing any opinion as to the correctness of the allegations made, the writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to make a representation before the respondents 1 to 6 with regard to the alleged interference by the respondents 7 to 15 and seeking police protection for the purpose of harvesting their crops in the land-in- question. If any such representation is made by the petitioners, the respondents 1 to 6 shall consider the same and take appropriate action in accordance with law. No costs. _____________ (G.
