PETITIONER AND 1 The District Collector, Nellore, Nellore District, and 5 others. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, The Acting Chief Justice) Heard learned Counsel for the parties. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondents 4 to 6 are engaged in activity relating to prawn culture in their agricultural lands, and respondents 1 to 3 are not preventing such illegal activity. Counters have been filed. Respondents 4 to 6 in their counter have categorically stated that they are not using the land in question for the purpose of prawn culture. It is submitted that earlier they used those lands for prawn culture, but after having received notice from second respondent on 30-11-2004, they had stopped doing aquaculture. The learned Counsel appearing for the third respondent-Pollution Control Board submits that though the activity of aquaculture was not stopped in 2004, but as on today, respondents 4 to 6 are not using the lands in question for the purpose of aquaculture. In these circumstances, we think that no further orders are necessary to be passed in this writ petition, which is accordingly, dismissed. --------------------------------- (Bilal Nazki, A.C.J) 25th October, 2005 --------------------------------- (R.Subhash Reddy, J) LUR
