THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.1805 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was the owner of land and building admeasuring 500 sq. yards in house bearing No.1-16, Karaipally Village, Singareni Mandal, Khammam District. As the aforementioned land was required by the Government to extend the main road by 20 feet on both sides, the petitioner lost 150 sq. yards of land in the extension of road. The petitioner was, however, allotted 120 sq. yards in Singareni Village on 30.03.2004. Thereafter, the petitioner filed an application to the Gram Panchayat, Singareni Village, for grant of permission for construction of house. However, the Gram Panchayat has directed the petitioner to obtain ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the Tahsiladar, Singareni Village, and also to get the boundaries of his plot surveyed along with the panchanama. As such the petitioner filed an application before the second respondent for issuance of ‘No Objection Certificate’, but no orders have been passed by the second respondent. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the second respondent be directed to dispose of the application filed by the petitioner expeditiously. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to dispose of the application dated 14.06.2009 filed by the petitioner expeditiously, preferably within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA 01.02.2011 KH/pn
