The petitioner claims to be residing in Door No.3-34B situated in Sy.No.13/2 of Akkireddigudem Village. According to him, the said building has access from Eluru Jangareddygudem State Highway through Akkireddigudem Dalithawada main road and that since the time of his forefathers they have been using the said passage to reach their house. He further stated that on 15.07.2010 one J. Seethaiah unloaded a truck load of gravel to raise the ground level so that they can use the passage freely without walking in the muddy and stagnant water. The grievance of the petitioner is that the residents of Harijanawada Colony of Akkireddygudem raised a thatched hut in front of his main gate way on the road margin blocking approach to his house. The petitioner is stated to have given representations on 28.07.2010 and 16.08.2010 to the respondent to take action in accordance with the provisions of the Panchayat Raj Act, 1994. As no action is taken thereon, the petitioner filed the present Writ Petition. Though time was granted, no counter affidavit has been filed by the respondent. At the hearing, Sri G. Elisha, learned Standing counsel, stated that he has not received instructions so far. In view of the innocuous grievance of the petitioner that his representations are not being disposed of, the respondent is directed to consider his grievance ventilated in his two representations, referred to above, and take appropriate action in accordance with law within a period of four weeks 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, WPMP.No.31134 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 14.12.2010 ES
