THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 16718 of 2007 Dated: 20.11.2007 Between: Fishermen Cooperative Society, Ramojipally, Shankarampet (A) (M), Medak District, (Proposed Society), rep. by its Chief Promoter, Palamcha Krishnaiah, S/o Bagaiah, aged 40 years, R/o Ramojipally (V), Uttuluru post, Shankarampet (A) Mandal, Medak District. .... PETITIONERS AND The Commissioner of Fisheries, Department of Fisheries, Mastya Bhavan, Shanthinagar, Vijayanagar Colony, Hyderabad and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 16718 of 2007 Order: The main grievance of the petitioners in this writ petition is that though they made representations, dated 20.10.2006 and 03.05.2007, requesting respondent Nos.1 and 2 to accord permission and to allow them to form/organize a separate Fishermen Co-operative Society bifurcating Ramojipally and Veerojipally villages from respondent No.3- Society, as per Section 15-A read with Section 16 (5) of A.P. Co- operative Societies Act, 1964, so far they have not passed any orders. Hence, they filed the present writ petition. In spite of ordering notice on 06.08.2007, and granting six adjournments for filing counter affidavit, no counter affidavit is filed by the respondents so far. However, when the matter is taken up for admission today, both the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader for Fisheries agreed for disposal of the writ petition with a direction to respondent No.1 and 2 to consider and dispose of the representations of the petitioners. Since the representations of the petitioners, dated 20.10.2006 and 03.05.2007, are said to be pending consideration before respondent Nos.1 and 2, and in view of the agreed stand taken by both the counsel, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: Respondent Nos.1 and 2 are directed to consider the representations, dated 20.10.2006 and 03.05.2007, of the petitioners and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 20.11.2007 Nsr
