Vasthakondur village on nomination basis for which administrative sanction was accorded by the Zilla Parishad and technical sanction was accorded by the fourth respondent, and accordingly the petitioner executed the work by spending certain amount. The case of the petitioner is that as the second respondent has failed to allocate any funds to the work executed by it, the fourth respondent has not paid the amount. The petitioner’s right, if any, to claim the amounts for the work got executed by it, is to proceed against the fourth respondent who allotted the work to it and it cannot question the action of second respondent for non-allocating the funds to the said work. In view of the same, the writ petition is devoid of any merits and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ______________ (A.GOPAL REDDY, J) Date: 18-08-2004 ghn/lvl To 1 The Government of A.P., represented by its Principal Secretary, Panchayath Raj Department, Secretariat Building, Hyderabad. 2 The District Collector & Chairman, DPEP Nalgonda, Nalgonda District. 3 The Superintending Engineer, Panchayat Raj Circle, Nalgonda, Nalgonda District. 4 The Executive Engineer, Panchayat Raj Division, Bhongir, Nalgonda District. 5 Two 2CCs to the Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad.(o.u.t.) 6 Two CD copies
