HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.19125 of 2010 Date: August 6, 2010 Between: Lalam Satyaprasad, S/o. late Satyanarayana, Hindu, aged 46 years, Occ: Sarpanch of Lalam Koduru Village, R/o.4-4, Lalam- Koduru Village, Rambilli Mandal, Visakahapatnam District … Petitioner And The District Collector (Panchayat Wing), Visakhapatnam District, and two others … Respondents Order: Petitioner, the Sarpanch of Lalam Koduru Gram Panchayat, Lalam Koduru village, Rambilli Mandal, Visakhapatnam District questions notice Rc.430/2010/A2, dated 24-06-2010, issued to him by the first respondent- District Collector, Visakhapatnam. The aforesaid notice has been issued to the petitioner referring to irregularities alleged to have been committed by him and he was called upon to explain as to why he should not be suspended in exercise of powers under Section 249(6) of the Andhra Pradesh Panchayatraj Act, 1994. It is the case of the petitioner that the allegations levelled against him are false and politically motivated. It is to be noted that the impugned notice is only a show-cause notice calling upon the petitioner to put-forth his case, with documents in support thereof. Even according to the petitioner, he has already filed his explanation in reply to the impugned show-cause notice on 14-07-2010. Whether the petitioner has committed irregularities or not is a matter within the domain of the first respondent, who has to enquire into the same. This court, at this stage, cannot go into the merits of the matter and determine whether the petitioner had or had not committed irregularities and record definite findings. In the circumstances, no relief, as sought, can be granted to the petitioner at this stage. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. However, I am sure that the first respondent- District Collector will consider the explanation of the petitioner in reply to the impugned show-cause notice and pass appropriate orders thereon. ___________________ (R.
