It is stated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that in recent times the Irrigation authorities and the Revenue authorities are planning to raise constructions in the Tallapalem Channel, thereby closing the utility of the water from the said channel for the lands situated on the western side of the4 said channel. The petitioner also requested the authorities not to make any construction, thereby preventing the utilization of the channel water for the lands on the western side mainly belonging to him and his relatives. It is further stated that the petitioner and his relatives are having lands in S.Nos. 25/2, 27/1, 25/3, 27/2 and 28/3 situate at Venkatarajapuram village, Ganapavaram Mandal, West Godavari District. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and hearing the arguments on either side, I am of the view that it is the paramount duty of the Government to regularize the supply of water in the channel by maintaining the level of the water. Therefore, this Court cannot entertain this writ petition. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed at the admission stage. If the petitioner is so aggrieved, he can approach the Civil Court and sought appropriate relief. Stv/- 22-06-2005.
