Accordingly as required under Sub-sections (4) and (5) of Section 3 of A.P. District (Formation) Act, 1947 (the Act, for brevity) by Notification dated 11.6.2002 (published in Rngareddy District Gazette dated 22.7.2002), the first respondent invited objections for proposals, from all the persons residing within the villages, who are likely to be affected. The Grama Panchayat Bachupalli is aggrieved by the Notification, and therefore, invoked the jurisdiction of this Court seeking invalidation of the Notification insofar as the proposal to bifurcate Bachupalli into Bachupally Grama Panchayat and Pragathinagar Grama Panchayat. Though interlocutory applications are listed, with the consent of learned Counsel, the writ petition itself was heard and is being disposed of by this order. The Notification under Section 3 (4) (5) of the Act itself is for inviting objections or suggestions from all the persons and organizations like the petitioner. Without filing the objections, the petitioner cannot be permitted to agitate before this Court. Therefore, the petitioner is given two weeks time for filing objections before the first respondent. As and when objections are filed, the first respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, before publishing the final notification under Section 3 (1) of the Act. The writ petition, with the above observations, is disposed of and the interim order is vacated. _______________ Date : August 18, 2004. V.V.S. RAO, J Note: Issue C.C. by 23.8.2004.
