Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner is a tribal unemployed belonging to DWACRA group. The Government of Andhra Pradesh announced Rajiv Internet Village Progrmame to family members of DWACRA groups and proposed to establish E.Seva centre in various villages and one such village as identified by the Governemnt is Thukkuguda Vilalge in Maheswaram Mandal. While so, the petitioner was selected from the village and after following the due process of law, the Project Director vide his sanction letter No. EDP/401/2004 dated 7.4.2005 accorded permission for establishment of E-Seva Centre at Thukkuguda Village of Maheswaram Mandal. For that a letter was addressed to the Mandal Revenue Officer, Maheswaram Mandal requesting him to allow the petitioner to establish E- Seva centre at Thukkuga Vilalge and give wide publicity to utilize the services from E-Seva centre. Even prior to that after the petitioner made an application, pursuant to the notification, the MPDO addressed a letter-dated 10.1.2005 to sanction E-Seva Center to the petitioner. Therefore, the petitioner made all necessary arrangement by taking a room in Plot No. 60, Srisailam Road, in Thukkugula Vilalge on hire and acquired computer, furniture and got installed the same including the electrical fittings. Thereafter, the petitioner made a representation dated 26.5.2005 requesting the respondents to complete the formalities for allotment of E. Seva centre. For that, when the petitioner made an enquiry, it was informed that the sixth respondent was appointed by the concerned authorities for allotment of E-Seva centre and when the petitioner approached them, they expressed their inability to give the centre. Hence, the present Writ Petition. In view of the above facts and circumstances of the case, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to permit the petitioner to install E-Seva Centre as per permission issued by the Project Director, DRDA & Velugu, Ranga Reddy District, in his letter dated 7.4.2005, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
