The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Writ Petition No.18939 of 2010 Order: In this Writ Petition, the petitioner seeks declaration, by way of Mandamus, that action of the respondents, in not allowing the petitioner to execute the civil works allotted to him by respondent No.1 vide proceedings in Rc.No.R.O/M.P.LADS/10, dated 23-03-2010, 24-03-2010 and 15-07-2010, as arbitrary and illegal. Respondent No.1- Executive Engineer, Panchayat Raj Department, Ongole, has entered into agreements with the petitioner, who is a member of Habitation Works Committee of Lakkavaram Village, Tallur Mandal, Prakasam District, for the works relating to construction of C.C.roads in Lakkavaram Village from (i) Bhadrakalamma Gudi to Chinnareddi Gari Bavi (ii) Rolawari Meda to Harijanawada; (iii) Bhadrakali Gudi to Rice Mill Road; (iv) Ramulavari Gudi to Madagan Bazar; (v) Metal Pitchiah Bazar to Lakkavaram Village and for formation of gravel road (vii) from Lakkavaram to Botlapalem Village. In this Writ Petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that in spite of the aforesaid agreements, respondents are not allowing him to execute the works entrusted to him thereunder. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj representing the respondents that since the field officers of the Panchayat Raj Department were engaged with works under National Rural Employment Guarantee Schemes, which are labour oriented works, they were given priority. It is further submitted that as the said works are coming to an end, the six works, which are allotted to the petitioner, will be commenced shortly. Although the learned Counsel for the petitioner seeks fixation of time for execution of the works allotted to him, in view of the statement made by the learned Government Pleader that the works entrusted to the petitioner will be executed as early as possible, I do not find any reason to fix any time as such. Recording the statement made by the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj, the Writ petition is closed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J Date: 17th August, 2010 lur
