THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.3004 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the Sarpanch of Pedapariya Gram Panchayat. He states that the Government has sanctioned individual sanitary latrines of about 100 to Pedapariya Gram Panchayat, which are to be constructed with the participation of beneficiaries under the supervision of the Panchayat Secretary and Mandal Parishad Development Officer (MPDO) and also sanctioned 500 bags of rice for being distributed to the beneficiaries through Fair Price Shop Dealer for construction of the said individual sanitary latrines. While so, it is the grievance of the petitioner that the Panchayat Secretary, MPDO and the Fair Price Shop Dealer colluded together and without supplying the rice to the beneficiaries, diverted the rice into the market by showing old latrines as if constructed under the scheme. Therefore, he claims to have made a representation on 11.07.2005 to the respondents brining to their notice the irregularities and misappropriation of the funds allotted towards construction of individual Sanitary Latrines in Pedapariya Gram Panchayat and to conduct necessary enquiry, in vain. Hence, he filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions in this regard. Though this Court issued Rule nisi as long back as on 17.02.2006, so far no counter affidavit has been filed. However, today when the matter is taken up, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj & Rural Development has produced para- wise remarks of the District Collector, Nellore, the first respondent, wherein while denying the allegations made by the petitioner, it is stated that earlier on certain allegations of misuse of power and funds of the Gram Panchayat, enquiry was conducted against the petitioner, who is the Sarpanch of the Pedapariya Gram Panchayat, that a Mandal Level Committee has been constituted to monitor the progress of construction of individual sanitary latrines in the Gram Panchayats and that the first respondent has already directed the said Committee to assess the value of the work done and submit its report by fixing the responsibility for misuse of funds. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj & Rural Development. Admittedly, a Mandal Level Committee has been constituted to monitor the progress of construction of individual sanitary latrines in the Gram Panchayats. It is categorically stated in the para-wise remarks produced by the learned Assistant Government Pleader that the first respondent has already directed the said Committee to assess the value of the work done and submit its report fixing the responsibility for misuse of funds. In view of the same, the grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition does not subsist and no further orders are necessary in the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:04.06.2010 VGB
