Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that at the first instance the 1st respondent accorded administrative sanction for 50 works to the petitioners under MPLADS for the year 2004-05 and the construction of Community Hall is one among those works, and subsequently the 1st respondent by order dated 20.04.2005 released 25% rice tie-up for the said 50 works sanctioned. He further contended that contrary to the said administrative sanction, the 2nd respondent issued the impugned order dated 23.05.2005 according permission to execute the work for the construction of Community Hall at Punnapuvaripalem departmentally, depriving the right of the petitioners. The learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development submitted that the department, keeping in view of speedy execution, taken a decision to execute the work of construction of Community Hall departmentally. If the respondents intend to execute the work of construction of Community Hall at Punnapuvaripalem speedily, they have to take assistance of the petitioners, as they were already entrusted with the earlier works, in executing the said work departmentally.
