THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.11890 of 2000 Dated:26.08.2009 Between: The Fishermen Welfare Forum, Regd. No.763/97, rep.by its President, Tholada Veeraju. …Petitioner and The District Collector, Kakinada, And others. …Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.11890 of 2000 ORDER: The petitioner is a Fishermen Welfare Forum, Yerraipet Village of Tondangi Mandal in East Godavari District. The petitioner submitted a representation to the District Collector for assignment of land in survey No.2/2 of the said Village, in vain. They, therefore, filed W.P.No.632 of 2000 seeking a direction to the District Collector to assign the land. When the writ petition was pending, the land in respect of which they sought assignment was encroached upon by antisocial elements. Therefore, they filed a representation on 01.05.2000 and 26.06.2000 requesting the revenue authorities to protect the land from encroachment, in vain. Therefore, they filed the instant writ petition seeking a direction to the respondent to take necessary action to protect the land in survey No.2/2. Though the matter was admitted on 04.06.2002, respondents have not filed any counter affidavit. Therefore, instead of keeping the matter pending any further, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondent Nos.2 and 3 to conduct enquiry with regard to alleged encroachment of land comprised in survey No.2/2 of Yerraipet Village of Tondangi Mandal in East Godavari District, and take necessary action in accordance with law under due intimation to the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 26.08.2009 vs
