No. A7/2619/2004-Pts. dt 18-6-2004 as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently direct the respondents 1 and 2 to take immediate action for removal of un-authorised constructions on the public old road. Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.KOWTURU VINAYA KUMAR,Advocate Counsel for the Respondent No.1: GP FOR PANCHAYAT RAJ & RURAL DEV. Counsel for the Respondent No.2: Jyothi Eswar Gogineni, S.C. The Court at the admission stage made the following : ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development, and the learned Standing Counsel for the second respondent-Gram Panchayat and with their consent, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage. In this writ petition the petitioner seeks a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to take appropriate action for removal of unauthorized constructions on the Public Works Department (PWD) road leading from Vemulawada to Korutla of Karimnagar District towards Northern side of petitioner’s plot in survey No.1552 of Vemulawada village. According to the petitioner, he submitted a representation dated 18-6-2004 to the first respondent with a copy marked to the second respondent seeking removal of the constructions made by respondents 3 and 4 on the PWD road leading from Vemulawada to Korutla, towards Northern side of the plots of the petitioner, encroaching into the old road, thereby affecting the passage of the petitioner. Assailing the inaction of respondents 1 and 2 in taking steps for removal of the constructions, the present writ petition is filed. It seems, without giving sufficient time to the official respondents to act on the representation submitted by the petitioner, the petitioner rushed to the court. However, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the first respondent-District Panchayat Officer, Karimnagar to consider and dispose of the representation submitted by the petitioner, dated 18-6-2004, expeditiously. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ______________ N.V.
