THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2257 of 2011 Dated 07th February, 2011 Between: L.Rammurthy Naidu …Petitioner And The District Collector, Chittoor, Chittoor District and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri Sreenivasa Rao Velivela Counsel for respondents: AGP for Panchayat Raj The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside proceedings, dated 06.10.2010, of respondent No.1, whereby he has granted permission for construction of a new Gram Panchayat Building in respect of Kamireddivaripalli Gram Panchayat, Somala Mandal, Chittoor District and various other places in the District. The petitioner is a resident of the above named Village. He has donated a piece of land by way of a registered gift settlement deed executed on 25.08.1970 for construction of Gram Panchayat Building. The petitioner pleaded that in pursuance of the said gift, Gram Panchayat Building was constructed and that the office is being run in the said building for a long time. Under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, the State Government has issued G.O.Ms.No.220, dated 11.06.2010, according administrative sanction for construction of 437 Gram Panchayat Buildings in Chittoor District. In pursuance of the said administrative sanction, respondent No.1 issued proceedings, dated 27.09.2010, approving the proposals for construction. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the site donated by him was utilised for construction of Gram Panchayat Building, in which the Panchayat Office is functioning as of now, there was no need for construction of a new building at a different site. In my opinion, with the execution of gift deed, which was acted upon by the State, the petitioner lost his claim over the property. It is not the case of the petitioner that the gift was not acted upon or that the purpose for which the gift was made was not served. On his own showing, a Gram Panchayat Building was constructed and the office was run therein for nearly four decades. If the administrative authorities felt that a new building at a different site is required, the petitioner has no right to object to such a decision, as he does not have any legally enforceable right to prevent the respondents from shifting the building to another place, if the administrative exigencies warrant such shifting. As such, the petitioner failed to make out a case of violation of any of his legal or fundamental rights. For the above-mentioned reasons, I do not find any merit in the writ petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.2801 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 07th February, 2011 VGB
