Koka Nageswara Rao, v. The State Of Andhra Pradesh,

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO WRIT PETITION No.4556 of 2015 ORDER:

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleaders for Fisheries and Revenue.

2. This writ petition is filed seeking writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondents 1 to 4 in not responding to the petitioner's representations and allowing the 5th respondent to continue his fish/prawn cultural business without necessary permissions under G.O.Ms.No.7 dated 16.03.2013 in RS Nos.315/2, 320/1 and 321, total Ac.5.63 cents, as illegal and arbitrary and for a consequential direction to respondents 2 to 4 to consider the representations submitted by the petitioner and initiate action in accordance with law against the 5th respondent.

3. The petitioner is the owner of an extent of Ac.1.36 cents in RS No.221 of Kondangi Village, Kaikuluru Mandal, Krishna District. He has been in possession and enjoyment of the said land by raising paddy crop. Whereas, the 5th respondent is having lands in RS Nos.315/2, 320/1 and 321, in an extent of Ac.5.63 cents of the same village. The said lands are adjacent to the lands of the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 5th respondent without having any permission from the competent authority has been converting the agricultural lands into aquaculture, which is causing huge damage to the lands of the petitioner. In this regard, it is submitted that the petitioner made several representations to respondents 1 to 4 to stop the activities, which is being carried on by the 5th respondent, but no action so far has been taken.

4. Under these circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to look into the representation made by the petitioner and take appropriate action in terms of G.O.Ms.No.7 dated 16.03.2013, within a period of

eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand dismissed. No order as to costs.
