THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27564 of 2008 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of the second respondent – Maravelli Gram Panchayat, Maravelli Village, Alladurg Mandal, Medak District, in constructing a Gram Panchayat building in the playground of Zilla Parishad High School in Maravelli Village, Alladurg Mandal, Medak District, without any permission or resolution passed by the Gram Panchayat and contrary to G.O.Ms.No.72, Municipal Administration, dated 20.02.2002, as illegal and arbitrary. Petitioner, who filed this Writ Petition, is the Ward Member of Maravelli Gram Panchayat. In the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition, it is stated that in the aforesaid School, there are about 600 students and the school is being run in the said locality from the last several years. It is also stated that there is an attached ground to the said school, which is being used as a playground by the students. In this Writ Petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that the second respondent is constructing a Gram Panchayat building, which will affect the students of the aforesaid school. It is stated that the ground attached to the school is the property of the school as such the same cannot be used for the purpose of constructing the Gram Panchayat building. This matter was heard on the last occasion i.e. on 08.11.2011 and was adjourned to enable the learned Standing Counsel for the second respondent to obtain instructions. Counter-affidavit is filed on behalf of the second respondent. When the matter is taken up today, it is submitted by Sri P.Raghavender Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the second respondent that at the stage of constructing pillars, the petitioner approached this Court and in view of interim order, dated 18.12.2008, passed by this Court, no further constructions were made. It is also submitted that the Gram Panchayat has already passed a resolution to provide accommodation in the proposed building only to the students of Zilla Parishad High School, Maravelli, as much as large number of students are studying in the said school. Though it is the grievance of the petitioner that the playground of the school is being used for the purpose of constructing Gram Panchayat office building, in the counter-affidavit, it is categorically stated in the counter-affidavit filed by the second respondent that the Gram Panchayat has already passed a resolution to provide accommodation only to the students of aforesaid school as there are large number of students studying in it. In this view of the matter, if the said building is used for the purpose of accommodating the aforesaid school children itself, the same cannot be objected to by the petitioner. In view of the stand of the second respondent that the proposed building will be used only for the purpose of students of aforesaid school, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 15th NOVEMBER, 2011. kvni
