THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NOS.6662 AND 6998 OF 2004 DATED 12TH JULY, 2011 BETWEEN Sunkari Gangu Bai and others. …Petitioners And District Panchayat Officer, Perkit Gram Panchayat, Armoor Mandal, Nizamabad District and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NOS.6662 AND 6998 OF 2004 COMMON ORDER: Challenge in these two writ petitions was to the order dated 24.03.2004 passed by the District Panchayat Officer, Nizamabad, cancelling the layout in L.P.No.22/96 upon the complaint of Gattadi Gundu Gangadhar, the third respondent in both the writ petitions. It was the case of the third respondent that the layout was obtained including his land therein. This Court, by order dated 12.04.2004, directed status quo obtaining as on that day with regard to the operation and effect of the impugned order to be maintained. Thereafter, by order dated 16.09.2004 the impugned order was suspended. These orders were passed in Writ Petition No.6998 of 2004. It is now stated by the learned counsel for the petitioners in these two cases and the learned counsel for the third respondent that the disputes inter se with regard to the third respondent’s grievance have been settled through the Award dated 17.09.2009 in Lok Adalat Case No.477 of 2009 in O.S.No.10 of 2005 (on the file of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Armoor), passed by the Lok Adalat, Armoor. In that view of the matter, the objection raised by the third respondent which found favour with the District Panchayat Officer, Nizamabad, while cancelling the layout under the impugned order dated 24.03.2004 no longer survives for consideration. It would however be necessary that a revised layout be submitted to the Gram Panchayat in keeping with the present ground position for necessary approval in accordance with law. The impugned order dated 24.03.2004 passed by the District Panchayat Officer, Nizamabad, is accordingly set aside. The petitioners shall see that a revised layout is submitted to the second respondent Gram Panchayat for approval within three (3) months. Thereupon, the Gram Panchayat shall pass necessary orders in the matter after following the due procedure and in accordance with law. The Writ Petitions are disposed of with the above directions. No order as to costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 12TH JULY, 2011. VGSR
