THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 27835 of 2008 Oral order: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.4. The petitioner, namely Sangam Gram Panchayat, represented by its Sarpanch states that as per the orders issued by the Government in G.O. Ms. No. 37, dated 18.02.2005 and G.O. Ms. No. 13, dated 13.06.2008, the contract works have to be entrusted to the Habitation Committees/Habitation Works Committees/Village Level Committees etc. He further states that even though they brought the G.Os. to the notice of respondent No.4, vide their representation 24.09.2008, duly mentioning the names of the Habitation Committees constituted, for the purpose of allotting the contract works, respondent No.4 despite acknowledging receipt of the representation, ignoring the orders issued by the Government in such G.Os. has allotted the works to respondent Nos. 6 to 10, namely the Users Works Committees, which is illegal and arbitrary. Respondent No.4 filed counter. The learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of respondent No.4 reiterating the counter averments submitted that respondent No.4 vide letter dated 02.09.2008 requested the petitioner to form Habitation Works Committee for entrustment of the works within 15 days and submit report to his Office to enable him to take further action. But the petitioner having constituted the Habitation Works Committees communicated the same to respondent No. 4 on 24.09.2008 i.e. after expiry of the 15 days, and by then respondent No.4 had on 22.09.2008, allotted the works to respondent Nos. 6 to 10, namely the Users Works Committees. She further submitted that respondent Nos. 6 to 10, who were awarded the works, also executed the same and payments were also released. At this stage, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that since some of the works were already entrusted to the Users Works Committees, respondent No.4 be directed to consider allotment of works in future to the Habitation Works Committees constituted by the petitioner. The learned Standing Counsel expressed no objection to the same. In view of the above, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: Respondent No.4 is directed to consider allotment of works in future in favour of the Habitation Works Committees constituted by the petitioners in accordance with the provisions of the relevant G.Os. and law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 24th June, 2009 KSR
