RAO WRIT PETITION No.10624 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner is a resident of Balireddypalem Village, Vakadu Mandal, Nellore District. He owns agricultural lands in the said village. Aggrieved by the action of the neighbouring farmers/agriculturists in raising prawn culture ponds detrimental to the interests of the petitioner, he gave two representations to the District Collector on 16.06.2005 and 09.01.2006. The District Collector by a communication, dated 24.08.2005, forwarded the representation of the petitioner to the Mandal Revenue Officer to conduct an enquiry. In spite of the same, no action was taken. Therefore, the present Writ Petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondents to consider the representations of the petitioner for removal of the unauthorized fishponds. A Division Bench of this Court, to which I was a member, in Madireddy Padma Rambabu v. District Forest Officer, Kakinada[1] considered this aspect of the matter and allowed a batch of writ petitions. Following the same, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Mandal Revenue Officer, Vakadu, not to allow any person to carry on the activities of prawn culture or pisci culture or any type of aqua culture without acquiring prior permission from the competent authority. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 06.06.2006 GJ [1] 2002 (1) ALD 728 (DB)
