THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.23853 of 2007 ORDER: 1 This Writ Petition is ﬁled seeking a direction by way of Mandamus to declare the action of the ﬁrst respondent in not taking steps against the second respondent, who has taken up illegal construction of the house without obtaining due permission from the ﬁrst respondent Municipality as illegal and arbitrary. 2 In the counter aﬃdavit ﬁled by the ﬁrst respondent, it is stated that Bhadrachalam Municipality is not in existence and now it is degraded as gram panchayat. In spite of the same no steps have been taken by the petitioner to implead the newly constituted gram panchayat or the executive oﬃcer of the said gram panchayat. 3 As there is no municipality in the name of Bhadrachalam municipality, as described in the cause title, no direction can be given as prayed for in this Writ Petition. However, it is made clear that if any constructions are made by the second respondent unauthorisedly, eﬀecting the rights of the petitioner, this will not preclude the petitioner to make a representation before the concerned gram panchayat and if any such representation is made, I am sure the authorities will look into the same and take steps in accordance with law. 4 Subject to the above observations, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. --------------------------- R.Subhash Reddy, J. 24.11.2011 Kvsn
