THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.25139 of 2003 Date:01.08.2007 Between: Smt.Varrey Vijaya Laxmi. .. PETITIONER AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh and another. ..RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner is a resident of Divancheruvu Village of Rajanagaram Mandal, East Godavari District. The Panchayat was bifurcated in the year 2000. To the newly constituted Gram Panchayat, there was no Sarpanch. The Rules at the relevant point of time provided for nomination of an individual as In-charge Sarpanch. The husband of the petitioner made an effort to get himself nominated as In-charge Sarpanch. The same did not fructify. The Government issued another set of Rules in G.O.Ms.No.250 Panchayat Raj & Rural Development (Pts.IV) Department, dated 08.08.2003. The petitioner states that even though she is eligible for being appointed as In-charge Sarpanch for the newly constituted Gram Panchayat, her case was not considered. In the counter-affidavit filed by the respondents, it is stated that an official person-in-charge was appointed to the Panchayat and the administration is going on smoothly. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj. Whatever may have been the circumstances that existed when the writ petition was filed, it ultimately emerged that the official person-in-charge was already appointed. It is represented that on account of pendency of a writ petition relating to the dispute as to bifurcation, the same person- in-charge is continuing. In that view of the matter, no relief can be granted to the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ 01.08.2007 kdl
