Counsel for the Petitioner : Mr.K.V.L.NARASIMHA RAO Counsel for Respondents 1 & 2: GOVT. PLEADER FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES Counsel for Respondent No.3 : Mr.D.SRINIVAS The Court made the following : ORDER: The petitioner claims to be landless poor and holder of white ration card of Seesali village, Kalla mandal, West Godavari district. It is stated that in pursuance of the Antyodaya Anna Yojana Scheme initiated by the Central Government, certain guidelines were issued for implementation of the scheme under Circular dated 12.8.2004. As per the said circular, the second respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer was required to identify the eligible beneficiaries under the scheme. In pursuance thereof, the second respondent instructed the Gram Panchayat of Seesala village to identify the beneficiaries. The Gram Panchayat inturn in the Gram Sabha conducted on 8.9.2004 identified (23) beneficiaries and prepared a list and the same was placed before the second respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer. The petitioner states that her name was also included in the said list of beneficiaries. Now the grievance of the petitioner is that the second respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer has deleted some of the names from the said list including the name of the petitioner without there being any justifiable reason. The petitioner also contends that the procedure followed by the Mandal Revenue Officer in identifying the beneficiaries is contrary to the guidelines issued for implementation of the scheme. Hence this writ petiton. Having heard the learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1 and 2 and on perusal of the material on record, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petiton leaving it open to the petitioner to make a representation before the first respondent-District Collector raising all the objections and pointing out the alleged irregularities in preparing the list of beneficiaries. If any such representation is made, the first respondent is directed to consider the same and to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of the objections from the petitioner. No costs. ____________ G.ROHINI, J Date: 26.10.2004 DA To 1 The District Collector, West Godavari District at Eluru. 2 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Kalla Mandal, West Godavari District. 3 The Sarpanch, Grampanchayat, Seesali Village, Kalla Mandal, West Godavari District. 4 Two CCs to the G.P. for Civil Supplies, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad (OUT). 5 Two CD copies.
