THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.3352 of 2007 16.3.2007 Between: Tallapureddy Rami Reddy, S/o.Narasimha Reddy And others … Petitioners AND The District Collector, Khammam District And others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.3352 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioners who are thirteen in number filed the instant writ petition seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the first respondent in not taking action to protect the lands of the petitioners from submergence and not dispose of their representation dated 14.10.2006 as illegal and arbitrary. In brief, it is their case that they own small extents of agricultural lands in survey No.219 situated at Yerrupalem village in Khammam District. They allege that Nallacheruvu or Tallapalem tank is not fed by Nagarjuna Sagar Project canal. Whenever there is heavy rain and tank is full, the lands of the petitioners are getting submerged because the ayacutdars under the tank are letting excess water. Therefore, they made representation to the first respondent, in vain. After getting instructions, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General-T) submits that the representation is still pending. Therefore, this Court observes that the first respondent may look into the representation and if necessary cause an enquiry made by the officials of the Department and take appropriate decision within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Needless to mention that the District Collector may communicate to the petitioners any order that may be passed by him. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) March 16, 2007. YS
