Nellore Mandal, Chittoor District at Ellapalle Harijana Wada as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioners sought for a direction to respondent No.1 to construct the Gram Panchayat building at Ellapalle Village only. I have heard Sri S.S. Bhatt, learned counsel for the petitioners, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj. Petitioner Nos.1, 3 to 5 are members of Ellapalle Gram Panchayat and petitioner No.2 is Upa Sarpanch of the said Gram Panchayat. They have filed this writ petition on the apprehension that contrary to the resolution passed by the Ellapalle Gram Panchayat on 23.06.2010 and the sanction given for construction of Gram Panchayat building at Ellapalle Village, respondent No.4 is seeking to construct the Gram Panchayat building in Ellapalle Panchayat Harijana Wada. In the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.2, on his and also on behalf of respondent No.1, stated that in pursuance of the resolution passed by the Gram Panchayat dated 23.06.2010, administrative sanction was issued by respondent No.1 on 30.06.2010 for construction of Gram Panchayat building in Ellapalle Village, that some of the residents of Ellapalle Harijana Wada have filed a petition on 08.07.2010 for location of the Gram Panchayat building at Ellapalle Harijana Wada instead of at Ellapalle Village and that no orders have been passed. It is further averred that proceedings dated 30.06.2010 and G.O.Ms.No.220 dated 11.06.2010 are being strictly followed by the department. Inasmuch as the writ petition is based on the apprehension that the Gram Panchayat building is sought to be constructed contrary to the Gram Panchayat resolution and the sanction order, with the stand taken by respondent Nos.1 and 2 that the construction will be strictly in accordance with the sanction order and G.O.Ms.No.220 dated 11.06.2010, no further adjudication of the writ petition is necessary at this stage. For the aforesaid reasons, the Writ Petition is disposed of. The petitioners are, however, given liberty to avail appropriate remedy, if and when any action contrary to the Gram Panchayat resolution and sanction order is sought to be taken. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, interim order dated 30.08.2010 is vacated and W.P.M.P.No.21131 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 18th January, 2011 GHN/VJL
