The petitioners are the residents of the above-named village. They pleaded that they are agriculturists and a kunta-cum-mini tank is in existence in Sy.No.179-1, which is being used for drinking water of cattle. The grievance of the petitioners is that Gram Panchayat building is proposed to be constructed on the said tank land, though a registered gift deed was executed by Sri Nalluru Veera Raghavulu conveying the vacant land comprised in Sy.No.181 and located in the midst of the village for the said purpose. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj, on instructions, submitted that as proposed location of Gram Panchayat building generated opposition among the villagers, the issue was referred to respondent No.1 for reconsideration and that he is seized of the matter. He further submitted that no final decision has been taken on this issue. In view of the above submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to consider the objections of the petitioners and other villagers against the proposal to construct the Gram Panchayat building in Sy.No.179-1, which is stated to be classified as a Kunta. He shall consider the feasibility of construction of building over the land in Sy.No.181 stated to have been gifted by Sri Nalluru Veera Raghavulu or any other land, which tends to public convenience. Till a decision in this regard is taken by respondent No.1, the Gram Panchayat building shall not be constructed over the land in Sy.No.179-1. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.36674 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 08.02.2011 ES
