The matter did not receive the attention it should have received when it was filed. Finally, it came up before this Court on 4.4.2005, when, nobody appeared, and the Court passed an order directing the District Collector to conduct an enquiry as neither the petitioner was before this Court nor the respondent. Now, the Collector has conducted the enquiry and reported that the whereabouts of Kusumanchi Ganga Raju are not known. He had left the village 10 years back and for 10 years, his whereabouts were not known. The respondent Nooli Paleswara Rao also died 10 years back, and, on enquiries conducted by him through his subordinates, it was revealed that Paleswara Rao was not engaged in the agricultural activity throughout his life and that he had not engaged Ganga Raju at any point of time. In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________ (BILAL NAZKI, ACJ) 25.11.2005. ____________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J.) VR.
