Petitioners AND The District Collector, Ongole and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri P. Nageswar Rao Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 and 2: -- Counsel for Respondent Nos.3 to 5: Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj Counsel for Respondent No.6: Sri G. Elisha, standing counsel for Gram Panchayats The Court made the following: ORDER: The petitioners, who are residents of Buchireddypalem Tangutur, Prakasam District, filed this writ petition feeling aggrieved by the action of respondent No.6 in seeking to construct a community hall over the purported approach road leading to railway station. From the nature of the averments raised in this writ petition, I am of the opinion that they are not germane for consideration in a proceeding instituted under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Respondent No.6, being the local body in which the open spaces are vested, is entitled to utilise such open spaces in accordance with the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1994. If, in the course of such utilisation, it commits any illegality, the petitioners are entitled to approach the hierarchical authorities, such as the District Panchayat Officer, District Collector and the Government. Therefore, the petitioners are relegated to avail such remedies as are indicated above for redressal of their grievance. Subject to the above observations, the Writ Petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.4214 of 2011 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 15th February, 2011 GHN
