THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6412 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner seeks a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in excavating a drainage canal in the exclusive private approach road, owned by the petitioner, adjoining House Nos.3-94 and 95 of Chinakakani Village, Mangalagiri Mandal, Guntur District, as illegal and arbitrary. He contends that the exclusive passage is not vested in the Gram Panchayat, and still the respondents are trying to construct a drainage canal by the side of the road. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and learned Standing Counsel for the Gram Panchayat. Even from a perusal of the sketch made available to the Court, it is evident that the lane is about 15 feet wide, and in addition to the houses owned by the petitioner, three houses are owned by others, on the opposite side, and there is an open land, adjoining the house of the petitioner. Further, the lane connects two roads. It is just unimaginable that a lane of this nature can be claimed, as exclusive property of the petitioner. Even to provide amenities to the petitioner, it is necessary to provide drainage. The petitioner is not able to explain as to how he has been provided with the facility to drain out the sewerage from his house. This Court does not find any basis to grant relief to the petitioner. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dated:26.03.2009. GJ
