THE HONBLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.12588 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner herein was granted fishing rights in respect of Uracheruvu Tank situated within the Nallagarlapadu Gram Panchayat, Rompicherla Mandal, Guntur district. Admittedly, the period of lease expired on 30.04.2008. However, the petitioner states that since catching of fish could not be completed, he made a representation on 2.6.2008 seeking extension of the period of lease. His grievance is that the respondent-Gram Panchayat refused to receive and consider the same. Hence, this writ petition. The learned standing counsel Sri M. Parabhakara Rao, who accepted notice for the respondent-Gram Panchayat, under instructions, stated that no fresh lease has been granted in favour of any third party so far. In the circumstances, without expressing any opinion as to the entitlement of the petitioner for renewal of the lease as sought by him, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to receive petitioner’s representation and consider the same in accordance with law. No costs. 23.06.2008.
