Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.K.CHIDAMBARAM Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR ROADS & BUILDINGS The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed with the following substantive prayer. “to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ order or direction declaring the inaction on the part of the respondents 1 and 3 in not taking steps to remove the encroachment made by the 4th respondent by raising a soda stall by the side of Bhimavaram to Pippara Road at Gollala Koderu Village, Palakoderu Mandal, West Godavari District in spite of my representation dated 19-12-2006 as illegal, arbitrary and unjust and issue consequential direction to respondents 1 and 2 to remove the said encroachments” Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Roads and Buildings and at their request the matter is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. The only grievance of the petitioner is that though he made a representation on 19.12.2006 to respondents 1 to 3 to remove the encroachment made by the 4th respondent by the side of Bhimavaram to Pippara Road at Gollalakoderu Village, Palakode Mandal, West Godavari District, so far no action has been taken on the said representation. Though the writ petition is filed on 4.1.2007, so far no counter affidavit is filed by the respondents. Since the only request made by the petitioner is consideration of his representation, without going into the merits of the matter, I consider it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to respondents 1 to 3 to consider and take necessary action on the representation of the petitioner, if not already taken expeditiously. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs.
