At the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner brought to my notice judgment dated 27.07.2007 of this Court in WP.No.9215 of 2007 and batch, wherein after elaborate consideration of the issues raised in the said batch, this Court held, G.O.Ms.No.37 dated 18.02.2007, wherein the committees constituted with the Gram Panchayat shall be entrusted with the works up to ﬁve lakhs, is in the constitutional spirit and directed the State Government and other functionaries to allot the works in accordance with the said G.O. only to the Habitation Works Committee constituted by the Gram Panchayats. In this case, the grievance of the petitioner is that despite the said judgment, works are not being allotted to the committee constituted by the Gram Panchayat. In view of the authoritative pronouncement by this Court with regard to the enforceability of G.O.Ms.No.37 dated 18.02.2007, this writ petition is disposed of in terms of the said judgment with a direction that the same shall be read as part of this order. The respondents shall take necessary steps to follow the directions contained in the said judgment, if not already done with regard to the petitioner Gram Panchayat. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.23388 of 2008 ﬁled by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 19.08.2008 ES
