The case of the petitioner is that he is working as Nodel Prerak for the last 30 years in the Saksharatha movement in the programme of Sakshara Bharath Programme run by the State and Central Government. In the beginning he worked as Vidya Volunteer and Organizer of Sanchar (Mobile) Library and Prerak of Jana Sikshana Nilayam, as a full time worker as Mandal Assistant/Organiser (A M L O). Therefore, he has been working for the cause of adult education along with various voluntary associations or organizations. He has given a representation to the authorities to utilize Revenue Kacheri Bhavan for the use of Nodel Niranthara Vidya Kendra. The Upa- Sanchalak, Vayuojana Vidya Project-2nd respondent, through his letter dated 28.09.2006 recommended to utilize Revenue Kacheri Bhavan for the use of Nodel Niranthara Vidya Kendra. The District Collector/Chairman of Saksharatha Samithi, Guntur District –1st respondent also issued orders in Rc.No.415/B/DDAF/2005, dated 03.10.2005, recommended to provide accommodation to the CECs in the Community Halls/Panchayat office available in the concerned village. The Mandal Revenue Officer has also permitted to use Machavaram Grama Kacheri Bhavan for Niranthara Vidya Kendra. After getting the permission, the petitioner has been utilizing the premises for adult education programme and also maintaining a library. While so, the respondents without informing the petitioner and the villagers and without issuing any notice to the petitioner locked the door of the premises. Therefore, the petitioner made a representation dated 30.04.2010 to the local police and also to the 1st respondent in this writ petition. But no orders have been passed on the said representation. Therefore, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the premises namely Grama Kacheri Bhavan has been used by the petitioner for Niranthara Vidya Kendra (Adult Education) from 2006 onwards. Suddenly, in the month of February, 2010, some unknown persons have come and locked the premises. Thereby the petitioner is not in a position to conduct the adult education programme and also could not open the Library, which have been run under the permission granted by the authorities concerned. Therefore, the writ petitioner made a representation dated 30.04.2010 to the concerned police, while marking a copy to the 1st respondent, but no orders have been passed. Accordingly, without going into the merits of the case, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 30.04.2010 and pass appropriate orders within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH Date: 19.05.2010 IVD/KH
