PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, Kurnool District, Kurnool and others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 18651 OF 2010 ORDER : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in establishing a dumping yard at survey No.751 of Gargeyapuram village and survey No.200 of Nuthanapally village, Kurnool Mandal, Kurnool District is arbitrary and illegal. The petitioners herein claim to be the owners of small extents of agricultural lands situated in survey No.751 of Gargeyapuram village. It is pleaded that the proposed dumping yard is located within the vicinity of the village tank which is the water source to the nearby villages both for drinking and irrigation purposes. As the proposed dumping yard is situated in the catchment areas of the said tank, the entire tank water would be polluted and would be unfit either for drinking or agriculture. It is claimed that the Handry Neeva Sujala Sravanti canal is also situated nearby apart from summer storage water tank which is located just 1 ½ kms away. Thus according to the petitioners the establishment of the dumping yard is not at all desirable and the action of the respondents in choosing the location without taking into consideration any of the above said aspects is arbitrary and illegal. Heard both parties. The material available on record shows that the petitioners made a detailed representation dated 12.07.2010 raising all the above said objections and the same was received in the office of the respondents on 12.07.2010 and 14.07.2010. In the circumstances, the respondents are bound to consider the objections raised by the petitioners and take necessary action following due process of law. Accordingly, the Writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents 1 to 4 to consider the objections raised by the petitioners dated 12.07.2010 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Till such time, no steps shall be taken for establishing the dumping yard on the land in question. No costs. ____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 03.08.2010 Note: Issue CC of order in three days (B/o) Ivd
