THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.31735 of 2010 Date: 16.12.2010 Between: B. Veeranagi Reddy and another ..... Petitioners AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by District Collector, Kurnool and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri P. Gangarami Reddy Counsel for Respondent Nos.1, 2 and 4: Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj Counsel for Respondent No.3: Smt. Ch. Vedavani, standing counsel for Gram Panchayats The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of respondent Nos.2 and 3 in convening Gram Sabha meeting on 04.04.2010 and constituting Water Shed Committee for Krishnapuram Village as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard Sri P. Gangarami Reddy, the learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the record. Petitioner No.1 is the Sarpanch and petitioner No.2 is the Member of Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency of Krishnapuram Village. They felt aggrieved by the action of respondent No.3 in purporting to convene a meeting of Gram Sabha and constituting Water Shed Committee on 04.04.2010. According to them, under Section 6(5) of the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 (for short ‘the Act’), it is only the Sarpanch, who is competent, to convene Gram Sabha and in his absence, Upa-Sarpanch shall undertake the said function. It is the pleaded case of the petitioners that neither the Sarpanch nor Upa-Sarpanch convened the meeting and the order dated 02.07.2010 of respondent No.4 shows that it is only respondent No.2, who has convened the meeting of Gram Sabha on 04.04.2010. In my opinion, constitution of Water Shed is a matter, which is governed by executive guidelines issued by the Government of India. Primarily, these executive guidelines are not enforceable through a writ proceeding. Therefore, ordinarily this Court would not entertain disputes arising under such unenforceable guidelines. However, since the petitioners raised serious grievance about the action of respondent Nos.2 and 3 in constituting Water Shed Committee, respondent No.1 is directed to consider the grievance of the petitioners raised in this writ petition and take an appropriate decision, after giving notice to all the parties concerned, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.40348 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 16th December, 2010 GHN
