THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.3888 of 2007 Dt.14.10.2007 S.K.Saleem … Petitioner Vs. The Mandal Revenue Officer, Mulugu Mandal, Medak District and another … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.3888 of 2007 Heard both sides. 2. Petitioner claims that he is the lessee of the land in Sy.No.81 of Allinagar village, Mulugu Mandal, and cultivating the same. It is stated that the 2nd respondent, who is the owner of the adjacent land in Sy.No.81, admeasuring Ac.2.31 guntas, is making attempts to sink a bore well nearer to the bore well of the petitioner, without obtaining permission and without maintaining the specified distance between bore well of the petitioner and the proposed bore well, which is contrary to A.P.Water, Land & Trees Act, 2002, and if the 2nd respondent sinks such a bore well, the land of the petitioner will be affected for want of sufficient water resources. Now, it is the grievance of the petitioner that, he made a representation to the 1st respondent on 12.12.2006, seeking to restrain the 2nd respondent, from sinking such a bore well, but no action has been taken thereon. Hence, this writ petition. 3. While admitting the writ petition on 01.3.2007, this Court passed an interim order, restraining the 2nd respondent from sinking bore well in Sy.No.81 in an extent of Ac.2.31 guntas situated at Allinagar village, Mulugu Mandal, Medak District, pending further orders. The 2nd respondent filed a vacate stay petition seeking to vacate the said interim order, and it is stated that in fact the petitioner dug a bore well very close to the boundary of the 2nd respondent’s land, without obtaining permission, due to which the bore well of the 2nd respondent dried up. It is further stated that the 2nd respondent so far has not sunk any bore well and he will follow the due process of law in case of sinking a bore -well. 4. Since it is categorically stated that the 2nd respondent has not sunk any bore well so far, and will follow the due process of law in case he wants to sink the same, I am of the opinion that the writ petition is filed only on a mere apprehension. 5. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without going into the merits, the 1st respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, Mulugu Mandal, Medak District, is directed to consider and dispose of the application that may be filed by the 2nd respondent, seeking permission to sink a bore well in Sy.No.81 in an extent of Ac.2.31 guntas situated at Allinagar village, after hearing the petitioner and the other persons concerned, if any, and pass appropriate orders as per law within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________ C.V.RAMULU,J 14TH October, 2009 PNV/DA
