HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO & HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN Dated 6-7-2010. WRIT PETITION No.19291 of 1997 Between: C.V.K.Rao. …Petitioner. And: District Collector, Khammam, Khammam District and others. ...Respondent. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO & HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.19291 of 1997 ORDER: (Per the Honourable Sri Justice B.Prakash Rao) Heard both sides. The question involved in this case is as to the water tank. It is represented by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the issue is squarely covered by the principles laid down by a Division Bench of this Court in the decision KANTALA SRINIVAS REDDY AND OTHERS v. STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AND OTHERS ([1]) wherein this Court has held that in the absence of notifications, the question of levy and collection of water tax does not arise. Admittedly, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that name of the village is not found in the notification. Following the same, the Writ Petition is accordingly allowed and the seizure notice dated 5-8-1997 issued under Section 8 of the A.P. Revenue Recovery Act is set aside. No costs. _____________________________ JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO ___________________________________ JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN Dated 6-7-2010. Dvs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.
