Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.K.CHIDAMBARAM Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR HOME The Court made the following: ORDER: Petitioners make allegations against the official respondents stating that they are interfering with their rights to draw water to their agricultural lands from the bore-well situated in R.S.No.405 of Miniminchilipadu Village, Atchanta Mandal, West Godavari District. 2. Counter has been filed stating that the first respondent has nothing to do with the drawing of water from the bore- well and the place of drawing water does not fall under the territorial jurisdiction of Atchanta Police Station; therefore, the question of visiting the said village and directing the petitioners not to draw water does not arise. It is further stated that the first respondent never visited the fields of the petitioners along with the respondents 2 and 3 on 29.12.2002 or any subsequent date. 3. In view of the categorical denial of all the allegations made by the petitioners, I am of the opinion that the petitioners is not entitled for any relief, as the first respondent has not at all interfered with the rights of the petitioners. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J April 16, 2008 DSK
