He is a resident of Bairamalguda Village of Saroornagar Mandal in Ranga Reddy District. He filed the instant Writ Petition seeking a direction to respondents 1 to 4 to protect the water body, namely, Maddellakunta tank, in the Village, which is allegedly being encroached upon by third parties. The petitioner admittedly approached the respondents on 11.06.2007. Even before any action could be initiated, he filed the instant Writ Petition. After hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioner and perusing the material placed before this Court, this Court is convinced that the delay on the part of respondent No.1, if any, in not taking any action is not arbitrary, and a writ of mandamus cannot be issued prescribing the time schedule for taking action. The petitioner may pursue the matter with the first respondent. The Writ Petition is misconceived, and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 23.07.2007 vs
