Nellore District filed the present Writ Petition feeling aggrieved by the alleged illegal award of contract works by respondent No.1-Gram Panchayat in favour of certain third parties. I have heard Sri V.Roopesh Kumar Reddy, learned Counsel for the petitioners, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj. In para 4 of the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition, the petitioners averred as under: “The petitioners submit that on 22.07.2010 onwards, the 2nd and 3rd respondents without conducting any meeting by calling upon the Upa-Sarpanch and Ward Members and without giving urgent notice and without the sanction of the Gram Panchayat majority members, the 2nd and 3rd respondents issued work orders in accordance to their whims and fancies, without the approval of the Gram Panchayat members and they have taken up drainage construction for a tune of Rs.3,00,000/- and completed within a week and withdrawn the bill of Rs.3,00,000/- also.” In the light of the above reproduced averments, I am of the opinion that no relief as claimed in this Writ Petition can be granted by this Court at this stage. However, the petitioners are permitted to make a representation to respondent No.7. If such a representation is made, respondent No.7 is directed to initiate appropriate proceedings, under Section 246 of the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, if he is of the opinion that respondent No.1 has not complied with the statutory procedure in passing resolutions for awarding of work. Subject to the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the main petition, WPMP.No.31517 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
