THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5063 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners are the Sarpanches of various Gram Panchayats in Srikakulam District. Their grievance is that the respondents are not identifying and sanctioning works, in terms of G.O.Ms.No.13, dated 13.06.2008. A representation is said to have been made by them on 15.02.2009, in this regard. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj. The grievance of the petitioners is two-fold, viz., the District Collector, Srikakulam, the second respondent herein, did not allocate works to the areas inhabited by Scheduled Casts (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) to the extent provided for under the G.O. and that no Grama Sabhas were held, before the works were identified. On instructions received from the respondents, learned Government Pleader stated that the allocation of works for the areas inhabited by SCs and STs is, in a way, more than what was earmarked and that the G.O., does not provided for holding of Grama Sabhas. The petitioners are not able to point out any provision, which requires that the works must be identified only by conducting Grama Sabhas. The ancillary grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents are not following the instructions contained in G.O.Ms.No.37, dated 18.02.2005, in the matter of allocation of works. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that the entrustment of the works sanctioned by the second respondent shall be in terms of G.O.Ms.No.37, dated 18.02.2005. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dated:16.03.2009. GJ
