This Court, while ordering notice before admission on 12.5.2010, passed the following interim order. “The apprehension of the petitioner is that the action of the respondents in proposing to lay 132 KVA Extra High Tension Line diagonally across the lands of the petitioner, would render the site totally useless. Heard learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The record shows that the petitioner has already made a representation to the Superintending Engineer, A.P. TRANSCO, Kurnool on 8.5.2010 bringing to his notice the severe hardships that may be caused to the petitioner if the proposed High Tension line is erected. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner has raised several aspects based on the statutory compliances required to be made by the respondents before erecting the high tension lines, it is not necessary to advert to all those aspects at this stage. The petitioner’s interests would stand protected if the respondents are directed to consider the petitioner’s representation dated 8.5.2010 and pass appropriate orders thereon. Till appropriate orders are passed and communicated to the petitioner, the respondents shall not undertake any erection work, as mentioned above”. Now a counter is filed by the respondents stating that the proposed 132 KVA Extra High Tension Line is not being laid diagonally across the land of the petitioner and it has been realigned and re-routed and the plan to this effect along with letter dated 26.7.2010 was already sent to the petitioner. In view of the same, nothing survives in the writ petition for further adjudication. The writ petition is accordingly closed. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 23.12.2010 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.11298 of 2010 23.12.2010
