THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5954 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner purchased a plot of land within the limits of Kompally Village, Munugodu Mandal, Nalgonda District, through registered sale deed, dated 18.10.2008. He intended to construct a house therein. His grievance is that, when he sought to submit an application on 20.02.2009, the Gram Panchayat, the 2nd respondent, refused to receive the same. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and learned Standing Counsel for the 2nd respondent. The A.P. Panchayat Raj Act and the Rules made thereunder prescribe the procedure to be followed for processing the applications submitted, seeking permission for construction. In case the application is defective, the same has to be returned, duly indicting the defects. On the other hand, if it is otherwise in order, the permission needs to be granted. There cannot be any justification for refusing to receive the application. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 2nd respondent to receive the application as and when submitted by the petitioner for permission to construct, and process the same in accordance with law within a period of four weeks thereafter. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dated:23.03.2009. Note: Furnish C.C. in two days. (B/o) GJ
