THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.22673 of 2010 ORDER: It is the case of the petitioners that earlier they have filed three writ petitions bearing W.P.Nos.16321, 16328 and 16327 of 2010 questioning the Notice dated 04.07.2010 and seeking a direction to the respondents therein not to interfere with the digging of fish tanks in their respective lands, as per the orders of this Court in W.P.M.P.No.17935 of 2010 in W.P.No.14260 of 2010, dated 22.06.2010. This Court, while issuing notice to the respondents therein, on 20.07.2010 in W.P.M.P.No.20556 of 2010 in W.P.No.16321 of 2010 granted interim direction as prayed for. Pursuant to the said order, when they have started digging fish tanks in their respective lands, the respondent police, at the instance of some of the neighbouring villagers, came to their land, stopped the digging activity and threatened them that if they continue digging activity they will seize the proclainers and register cases against them. The grievance of the petitioners is that even though they have showed the relevant documents including title deeds, pattadar pass books and the orders of this Court dated 22.06.2010 and 20.07.2010, the respondent police are not allowing them to dig fish tanks in their lands. Hence, this writ petition. A counter-affidavit is filed on behalf of the second respondent- Station House Officer, Peddapadu Police Station stating that the dispute of the petitioners is purely civil in nature; that though the petitioners made allegations against some neighbouring villagers that they are interfering with their fishing activities, they have not impleaded them as parties to this writ petition; that he never asked the petitioners to stop digging fish tanks in the subject lands and that the petitioners filed this writ petition on mere apprehension. Recording the above counter-averments, and since the same are not rebutted by the petitioners, I am of the view that no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V. RAMANA, J Date: 05.10.2010 va
