Alla Venkateswar Rao, v. The Chief General Manager,

HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN AND HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE J. UMA DEVI WRIT PETITION NO.9472 OF 2004 ORDER: (per Hon'ble the Acting Chief Justice Justice Ramesh Ranganathan) The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is to declare the action of the respondents 1 to 3 in seeking to lay a road through Sy. No.46 and 47, of Santhapet Extension Ongole, as illegal and arbitrary. In the counter-affidavit filed thereto on 16.07.

2005, the Divisional Railway Manager, South Central Railway, Vijayawada has stated that respondents 1 and 2 had a proposal to lay a road in the said railway land for transport of granite blocks; the said proposal of respondents 1 and 2 to lay the road was only at the initial stage; no arrangements were actually made by respondents 1 to 3 to lay the said road; presently the railways are transporting granite stone through the road leading to Surareddipalem railway station; and the apprehension of the petitioners, that respondents 1 to 3 were laying the road through the railway land in Sy. No.46 and 47 was unfounded.

It is evident from the counter-affidavit that the petitioner's apprehension, of a road being laid through the railway land, is unfounded and that the cause in the Writ Petition does not survive necessitating adjudication by this Court. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. The miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. No costs. _________________________________ (RAMESH RANGANATHAN, ACJ) _______________ (J. UMA DEVI, J) Date: 03-08-2017.
