THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITON No.16349 of 2004 ORDER: Aggrieved by the action of the respondent Corporation in proposing to lay drainage pipelines along the roads in Yanamalakuduru Village, the petitioner Gram Panchayat filed the present writ petition and it is its grievance that the proposed activity of laying drainage pipelines would damage the cement roads in the village. The respondent Corporation filed detailed counter-affidavit, wherein it is stated that as regards laying of drainage pipelines along the roads in Yanamalakuduru Village, the Commissioner of the Corporation visited the village and met the elected body members and Sarpanch of the petitioner Gram Panchayat and requested to permit the Corporation to proceed with the work taken up as a public utility and environmental friendly scheme. The Commissioner also assured restoration of roads if damaged during laying of pipelines. But however, the petitioner is not acceding to their request. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The petitioner is opposing the proposed activity of laying drainage pipelines, only on an apprehension that it will damage the roads. This apprehension no more exists, in view of the assurance given by the Corporation for restoration of roads, if damaged during laying of pipelines. Moreover, laying of drainage pipelines is for public utility. Thus, this Court is not inclined to pass any orders in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 27th July, 2010 IBL
