THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.377 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the owner of 6 guntas of land in Sy.No.127/A of Pothireddipalle Village, Sanga Reddy Mandal, Medak District. It is stated that two rooms were constructed on it, and house No.10-99 was assigned. On finding that the 6th respondent was constructing a building upon the site, the petitioner verified the matter with the Grampanchayat, and came to know that permission to construct was accorded in favour of the 6th respondent. Thereupon, he filed an appeal before the District Panchayat Officer, Medak, the 3rd respondent. The appeal was dismissed on 26-12- 2009, pointing out that there is a civil dispute between the petitioner and the 6th respondent, and that the same can be decided only by the Civil Court. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the order dated 26-12- 2009. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj. This is not a case, where the petitioner submitted a complaint, alleging that the 6th respondent is making construction, contrary to building bye-laws. He claimed ownership over the property and objected to the grant of permission to the 6th respondent. On its part, the Grampanchayat was satisfied with the title of the 6th respondent. Reference was made to a sale deed, of the year 2006, executed in favour of the 6th respondent, by one Smt Mahabub Bee. Though the petitioner seriously disputes the title of the vendor of the 6th respondent, neither the Grampanchayat, nor the District Panchayat Officer, can be expected to decide the same. It is only a Civil Court, that can determine the disputes of this nature. Therefore, no exception can be taken to the impugned order. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to establish his title, and seek ancillary remedies, vis-à-vis the 6th respondent; in a Civil Court. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.19-01-2010. KO
