Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent and with their consent, the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 3. Petitioner, with intent to construct building in Sy.No.19 to run an educational institution, applied for sanction along with a plan to the respondent in 1997, who granted permission by his resolution No.6 dated 08-12-1997 and further renewed it by resolution No.4 dated 27-07-2001, on petitioner’s representation. It is the case of the petitioner that after renewal of permission, she got the registered sale deed with respect to the land in Sy.No.19 within the limits of the respondent herein, on 10-06- 2004. Petitioner states that due to non-registration of sale deed in her favour, she could not construct building according to renewal of permission dated 27-07-2001. Thereafter, she again represented to the respondent on 24-08- 2004 and 12-09-2004 requesting it to renew the permission to construct building in S y.N o.19. Petitioner alleges that respondent, neither considered her representations, nor passed any orders, which gave rise to filing the present writ petition. 5. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondent, Gram Panchayat to consider the representations filed by the petitioner requesting renewal of building permission and pass appropriate orders, within a period of three months from today, in accordance with law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of at the admission stage. ___________________ N. V. RAMANA, J January 28, 2005 MRR ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER Copy to: 1.
