THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5991 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners are Sarpanches of Korama and Vaddangi Gram Panchayats of Bhamini Mandal, Srikakulam District. The District Collector, Srikakulam, the 2nd respondent herein, sanctioned works of laying C.C. roads or C.C. drains for various villages in the Mandal, through proceedings, dated 10.12.2008, in terms of G.O.Ms.No.13, dated 13.06.2008. Three works, each, were allotted to the Gram Panchayats of Korama and Vaddangi. The grievance of the petitioners is that the works were not identified by convening Grama Sabhas and that they were entrusted for execution to certain agencies, without reference to the Gram Panchayat. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj. The Government allotted Rs.90/- lakhs for each mandal, through G.O.Ms.No.13, dated 13.06.2008, for the purpose of laying C.C. roads and construction of C.C. drains in the villages. The G.O., itself prescribes the procedure to be followed, in the matter of allotment of works for execution. In addition to that, G.O.Ms.No.37, dated 18.02.2005, provides for constitution/organization of Habitation Committees, for the purpose of entrustment of works. It is not known as to whether the petitioners have formed such habitation committees. The insistence by the petitioners that the works should have been identified by conducting Grama Sabhas, is not stipulated by any provision of law, or administrative instructions. Therefore, their contention, in this regard, cannot be accepted. The other grievance of the petitioners, as to entrustment of the work to certain agencies without reference to Gram Panchayat, is equally untenable. Firstly, the petitioners did not implead the agencies to which the works were entrusted. Secondly, the works are said to have been either completely executed, or nearing completion. Hence, no relief can be granted to the petitioners, at this stage. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J.
