IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT APPEAL NO.1241 OF 2008 DATED:14.6.2010 Between: M. Girirajulu … Appellant And The District Panchayat Officer Krishna District, Machilipatnam and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT APPEAL NO.1241 OF 2008 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) Being the highest bidder in the auction for fishing rights of the gram panchayat tanks, the appellant – writ petitioner was granted the lease of fishing the tanks from 2004 to 2007 for a period of three years. In the year 2007 he invoked the extraordinary writ jurisdiction of the Court to compel the respondents to allow him to conduct fishing beyond the period prescribed in the lease agreement on twofold ground, that the allotment of lease had commenced from 2005 and because of loss allegedly suffered by him on account of release of effluents in the tanks. The Writ Petition was dismissed with liberty to the appellant to workout his remedies for the purpose of compensation/damages. There is no material before us which would enable us to arrive at a definite conclusion about the loss suffered by the appellant, but even if it would be so, the damage caused, if any, by no stretch of imagination can entitle the appellant to continue with fishing beyond the period of three years stipulated in the order itself. Apart from that the appellant has already laid a claim for compensation. In the backdrop aforementioned, we refuse to interfere with the order of the writ Court. Dismissed. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 14-6-2010 B. Narsinga Rao
