THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.22740 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the assignees of house sites in Sy.No.46 of Cholangipeta Gram Panchayat, Tallarevu Mandal, East-Godavari District. According to them, an extent of 80 cents of land in that survey number is left for common use in the lay-out itself. The grievance of the petitioners is that certain unauthorized structures are sought to be brought into existence, and even though the petitioners have submitted representations to the Gram Panchayat, no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, and learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj. The petitioners do not claim any rights, vis-à-vis the open land left in the lay-out, in Sy.No.46, nor do they complain that possession of their plots are sought to be interfered with. In a way, their grievance reﬂects the public interest. In case, any open land was left out, in the lay-out, it cannot be permitted to be used by the individual, and the Gram Panchayat is under obligation to ensure that the land is kept vacant. Any constructions can be brought into existence, only on the strength of proper allotment and permission. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the 4th respondent-Gram Panchayat, shall ensure that no unauthorized constructions are made in the open land, earmarked in the lay-out, in Sy.No.46 of Tallarevu Mandal, East-Godavari District. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.20-10-2008. KO
