PETITIONERS AND Govt. of A.P Rep by Secretary, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Dept. Secretariat, Hyderabad & others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE ELIPE DHARMA RAO WRIT PETITION NO. 6694 of 2002 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed questioning the impugned G.O.Rt.No.336, dated 18.03.2002. The grievance of the petitioners is that the first respondent through impugned G.O. accorded permission for installation of statues of Saravasri Nadamuri Taraka Rama Rao and Doolipala Veeeraiah Choudary at Local Island Centre, Ponnur Town, Guntur District, and the same would cause traffic congestion and public inconvenience. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned standing counsel for the respondents. The petitioners have approached this Court earlier by way of filing W.P.No.1121 of 2002 questioning the resolution dated 28.12.2001, passed by the Municipal Council and also for a consequential direction to respondents not to make any construction for erection of the statues in the junction of Island Centre situated at Ponnur Town, Guntur District. This Court, by order dated 01.02.2002, dismissed the said writ petition observing that the District Collector, Guntur, after conducting enquiry, shall send the proposals to the Director of Town and Country Planning, Hyderabad, for approval. It was also observed that at the time of enquiry, petitioners are at liberty to represent to the District Collector, Guntur if they have any objections and directed him to consider the same at the time of sending proposals to Director of Town and Country Planning, Hyderabad. A perusal of the letter dated 8.2.2002 of the third respondent addressed to the District Collector, Guntur would reveal that the proposals submitted by the second respondent-Commissioner of Ponnur Municipality and fourth respondent-District Collector, Guntur, have been examined and that the Government has taken a policy decision vide Memo dated 24.08.1998 for erection of the statues in a corner, but not in the middle of the road. Thereafter, the impugned G.O. came to be passed by the first respondent. Hence, I do not see any reason to entertain this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. It is needles to mention that the second respondent shall take care for free flow of the traffic in the junction of Island Centre situated at Ponnur Town, Guntur District. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ 03.08.2005 usd
