Hyderabad, March 20: A Division Bench of A.P. High Court comprising Chief Justice Nisar Ahmad Kakru and Justice P.V. Sanjay Kumar on Thursday issued notices to the State Government in a writ petition pertaining to allotment of Godavari water to Nav Bharat Industries.
The writ petition was filed by G. Ramana Reddy complaining four cusecs of water should not have been allotted to Nava Bharat Industries in Khammam.
The petitioner averred that when there was shortage of water, industries should not be given water.
In another case, Chief Justice Kakru and Justice P.V. Sanjay Kumar have expressed deep anguish at the attitude of the District Educational Officer, West Godavari, who had been avoiding to take action against two teachers, who had allegedly misbehaved with girl students.
The DEO appeared in person in the court on Thursday.
It may be recalled that the bench last week directed the DEO to appear in person to explain why there was delay in taking disciplinary action against erring teachers, who faced allegation of misbehaving with the girl students.
The writ petition was filed by Srirammamurthy of Veravasaram alleging that there were complaints of two male teachers misbehaving with the girl students of Zilla Parishad High School.
On Thursday the bench found that no action has been initiated yet. The DEO, who appeared in court could not give satisfactory explanation why the action has yet not been taken against teachers.
The Advocate-General was called to the court and the bench did not hide unhappiness and anguish. The case has been adjourned to Monday. Justice Ramesh Ranganathan directed the Bhadrachalam Municipality to stop further construction work of multi-storied building near the Sri Rama Temple.
The judge was dealing with the writ petition field by K. Basavaiah, who complained that the authorities did not stop construction activities in spite of the complaint that such a huge six storied building in the small lane near the Ramalayam was being built without permission from the competent authority.
