THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6349 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner submitted an application, seeking permission to construct a house, to the Gram Panchayat, Yellamanchalli. The Panchayat Secretary of the Gram Panchayat, the 1st respondent herein, addressed a letter, dated 22.07.2008, to the petitioner, returning the application submitted by him. It was mentioned that the title deeds were not enclosed, and in case, the application is filed comprehensively, it would be processed again. The petitioner was required not to make any construction. The said letter is challenged in this writ petition. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the Gram Panchayat. It hardly needs any mention that an individual proposing to construct building over a land, must indicate the title to the property. Though the Gram Panchayat is not the authority to decide the disputes relating to the title, it must be satisfied, at least, prima facie, that the applicant holds title and rights, vis-à-vis the property. The petitioner does not dispute that he did not enclose title deeds to the application. Even otherwise, he can satisfy the Gram Panchayat about his right to make construction over the site. No exception can be taken to the impugned letter. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dated:26.03.2009. GJ
