JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8739 of 2010 ORDER:- The petitioner is permitted to implead the Zilla Parished, East Govadari District as respondent No.6. This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondents in distributing the petitioner’s share of income derived from the auction of sand as illegal and arbitrary. In the additional affidavit, the petitioner, which is a Grampanchayat in East Godavari District, pleaded that it has made representations to the respondents for payment of its share of 25% in the amounts derived from the sand auctions. A perusal of the acknowledgements fled by the petitioner shows that the representations were made only to some of the respondents and not to respondent No.6, which is the custodian of the funds and empowered to distribute the same among the local bodies in terms of the prescribed ratio. Therefore, the petitioner is permitted to make a representation to respondent No.6 indicating therein the amounts, which are due to it. If such a representation is received by respondent No.6, it shall consider and decide the same in accordance with law. As the petitioner is entitled to payment of its share, respondent No.6 shall make payment of the amounts that are found due to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible after disposal of its representation. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.Nos.11261 and 11762 of 2010 are disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 22.04.2010 ES
