Nagarjuna Reddy) Leave to amend the description of respondent No.1 in the cause title of the Writ Petition, is granted. This Writ Petition is filed in the name of public interest litigation. The grievance of the petitioner, who is a Member of Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency, Kothapet, Saroornagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, is that Kothapet Village is not proposed to be included in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits while proposing to include several other villages, which are situated at a farther distance than Kothapet Village from the existing limits of GHMC. In the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition, it is stated by the petitioner that the Sarpanch of Kothapet Gram Panchayat submitted a representation on 30.01.2008 to respondent No.1 for inclusion of Kothapet Village in GHMC limits. At the hearing, learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that no decision has been taken so far on the said representation. Whether a village should be included within the limits of GHMC or not is required to be decided by respondent No.1. Therefore, we direct respondent No.1 to consider the representation dt.30.01.2008 said to have been submitted by Sarpanch of Kothapet Gram Panchayat, before taking a final decision on the reorganization of GHMC. The petitioner is also permitted to make a representation for this purpose and if such a representation is made, respondent No.1 shall consider the said representation also. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, W.P.M.P. No.523 of 2010, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of. ______________ ANIL R.
