THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4779 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have submitted a representation, dated 24.09.2007, to the District Collector, West Godavari District, the first respondent herein, alleging that though his name was included in the list of beneficiaries to receive compensation for damage to the crop due to cyclone, he was not paid any amount. He has furnished certain instances of alleged irregularities, in his representation. Ultimately, he prayed for payment of compensation for the damage to the crop. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioner enclosed a copy of the acquittance for payment of relief amount for crop damage that occurred due to cyclonic storm on 19th and 20th September, 2005 in West Godavari District. According to the petitioner, his name is included in the list, but he has not been paid compensation. If what is stated by the petitioner is true, impersonation, or defalcation of the amounts, may have taken place. That, however, is a matter for enquiry. The first respondent cannot keep the matter pending indefinitely, particularly, when the allegations of such serious nature are made. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the first respondent to examine the representation, dated 24.09.2007, submitted by the petitioner and take necessary action, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:12.03.2009 kdl
