THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.14606 of 1996 & W.P.No.21434 of 1997 COMMON ORDER: The learned counsel appearing on either side fairly conceded that the issue involved in these writ petitions is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in W.P.No.8677 of 1990 and batch dated 18.8.1999. In view of the same, these writ petitions are also liable to be disposed of in the light of the above judgment, which reads as under: “For all the aforementioned circumstances, I consider it appropriate to direct the first respondent- Government to consider as to the possibility of reviewing its policy decision notified in the impugned Governmental order. It shall consider the request of the ayacutdars and examine the matter afresh as to whether there is any possibility of making any improvement in the matter of supplying water over and above what has been notified under the impugned Governmental order. For the said purpose, the Government may invite representations from the Ayacutdars, elected representatives of the people and from all such others as the Government may in its discretion think fit to invite. An appropriate decision in this regard shall be taken by the Government within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Opinion of the Irrigation Development Board may also be solicited. I may, however, hasten to add that this Court has not expressed any opinion whatsoever on the merits of the case as to in what manner the Government has to formulate or re-formulate its policy. The Court hopes and trusts that such policy formulation will be in the larger public interest”. Accordingly, both these writ petitions are disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 24.7.2006 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.14606 of 1996 & W.P.No.21434 of 1997 24.7.2006 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.14606 of 1996 & W.P.No.21434 of 1997 Dated: 24th July, 2006 W.P.No.14606 of 1996 Between: G.V.Krishna Rao & others. ..
