The learned single Judge has dismissed the writ petition on the ground that the appellant – society is not a member of the Vana Samrakshana Samithi, and not entitled to any relief. 2. Even in the writ petition itself, the appellant - society has contended that the members of the society were in possession of the land, but since it was a reserve forest land and in obedience to the directions of the Government, they have handed-over the same to the Government. There is nothing on record even prima facie to show that cultivation has been done by the appellant – society. As such, we do not find that there is any necessity to interfere in the order passed by the learned single Judge. The writ petition is misconceived. 3. The writ appeal is accordingly dismissed. No costs. --------------------------------------- BILAL NAZKI, HACJ --------------------------------------- DR.G.YETHIRAJULU,J AVS DATE:12.04.2005 ........REGISTRAR To 1. 1 The Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Aranya Bhavan A.P.Saifabad, Hyderabad. 2 The Conservator of Forests, East Godavari at Rajahmundry. 3 The District Forest Officer, Kakinada Division, Kakinada. 4. 2 CCs to G.P. for Forests, A.P.
