THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.22451 of 2007 ORDER: Though the W.P.M.P. has come up for hearing, with the consent of the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Forest, the main writ petition itself is being disposed of. The grievance of the petitioners in this writ petition is that despite the proceedings of the District Collector, Khammam, vide Rc.No.E1/1550/2007 dated 13-10-2007, whereunder permission granted on 05-04-2005 to the petitioners for cutting the tree growth existing in their patta lands to the extent of 174.34 guntas was extended till 31-10-2008, respondent No.1 has not been granting permits, to cut the tree growth, in their favour. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Forest, on instructions, says that out of 31 petitioners, only 6 petitioners have paid the required security deposits for granting permits by respondent No.1 and that for that reason no permits have been granted to the petitioners. The learned counsel for the petitioners says that the petitioners are prepared to pay the security deposits in accordance with law. Having regard to the above submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition in following terms: (1) The petitioners shall pay the required security deposits for grant of permission to cut and transport the tree growth existing on their patta lands within a period of four weeks; and (2) On receipt of the amounts indicated in (1) supra, respondent No.1 shall, within a period of two weeks thereafter, issue the necessary permits. Subject to the above direction, Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J.
