Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.T.V.S.PRABHAKARA RAO Counsel for the Respondents Nos. 1 and 2: GP FOR PANCHAYAT RAJ & RURAL DEV. Counsel for the Respondent No. 3 : Mr. M. Prabhakar The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the inaction of the respondents in reconstructing the demolished public latrines in Narendrapuram village. The case of the petitioner is that in Narendrapuram village there used to be public latrines for the use of ladies. As there was no proper maintenance, the latrines became damaged and on a representation submitted by the local public, the local authorities promissed to reconstruct new latrines by demolishing the old ones. But the authorities, without keeping their promise, are proposing to allot the site to third parties for other purpose. Hence the present writ petition. As could be seen from the record, it seems that the local public of Narendrapuram village have submitted a representation dated 20-4-2005 to the District Collector ventilating their grievance and for reconstruction of public latrines in the place of old ones. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to take immediate steps and act positively on the representation given by the local public of the village to construct new public latrines for the use of ladies in the village within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. ---------------------- kvsn 14-07-2005 To 1 The District Collector, Panchayat Wing, East Godavari District, Kakinada. 2 The Mandal Development Officer, Mandal Praja Parishad, P.
