IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE TWENTY FOURTH DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition Nos.17848 & 17926 of 2009 Common Order: These two Writ Petitions are filed for a Mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondents, in concluding agreements with the petitioners in relation to the works of improvement to Vedullapalli - Vodarevu Road and Tikka Rajupalem – Cherukuru Road of Prakasam District and Srikalahasti – Maddikandrika Road of Chittoor District, as illegal and arbitrary. The grievance of the petitioners in these cases is that even though they are the L1 agencies, the respondents have not been entering into agreements for execution of the above-mentioned works. At the hearing, the learned Government Pleader for Transport, Roads and Buildings representing the respondents produced before the Court Memo No.10368/R.II(2)/09-13, dated 07-05-2011, issued by respondent No.1, wherein it reiterated its earlier memos for entrustment of work to L1 agency with regard to Tikka Rajupalem-Cherukuru Road as per the existing rules in force. Even though the said Memo relates to one of the three works, unless there are legally conceivable objections, I do not find any reason why the respondents should not adopt the said Memo in cases of improvement works pertaining to Vedullapalli - Vodarevu Road of Prakasam District and Srikalahasti – Maddikandrika Road of Chittoor District. In the light of the abovenoted instructions issued by respondent No.1, respondent Nos.2 to 5 are directed to act in accordance with the impugned Memo No.10368/R.II(2)/09-13, dated 07-05-2011, in respect of all the abovenoted works and complete the process within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petitions are disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petitions, interim orders, dated 10-11-2009 and 17-11-2009 in WPMP.No.29905 of 2009 and WPMP.No.23505 of 2009 are vacated and WPMP.Nos.23403, 29904, 29905, 37148 of 2009 and 29225 of 2010 in WP.No.17848 of 2009 and WPMP.No.23505 of 2009 in WP.No.17926 of 2009 are disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 24th June, 2011 lur
