THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.10505 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner – Alamuru Gram Panchayat has filed this writ petition questioning the action of the respondents in issuing Notification No.986/Sand/11 dated 02-04-2011, notifying Reach No.7, Mandapalli – Komarajulanka Right Bank from 24.000 kms. to 29.000 kms. Ramp at kms.27.000 with Geo Coordinates falling within the Alamuru Gram Panchayat as Mandapalli without conducting survey and fixing up boundaries between Alamuru and Mandapalli Gram Panchayat and proceeding to conduct auctions on 19-04-2011. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are going ahead with the auction of sand in Mandapalli village, but that part of the lands as mentioned at Sl.No.4 of the auction notice are within the revenue estate of Alamuru Gram Panchayat. In fact, the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the entire land falls within the revenue estate of Alamuru Gram Panchayat and the respondents are bound to pay proportionate seigniorage fee to the petitioner – Gram Panchayat, as the land falls within their Reach. Learned counsel for the respondents, however, submits that the survey has already been conducted and the entire land falls within Mandapalli Gram Panchayat. However, in case any part of the land falls within the revenue estate of Alamur Gram Panchayat, then proportionate seigniorage fee would be given to it. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction that the respondents may go ahead with the auction in terms of the auction notice dated 02-04- 2004. However, the respondents shall verify as to whether any part of the land notified falls within the revenue estate of Alamuru Gram Panchayat and, in case the land falls within the revenue estate of petitioner Gram Panchayat, then the proportionate seigniorage fee shall be given to the petitioner Gram Panchayat. The needful be done within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. No order as to costs. _________________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA April 19, 2011 Pn THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.10505 of 2011 April 19, 2011 Pn
