THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3369 of 2011 Date:15.02.2011 Between: Varikuti Peda buchayya ..... Petitioner AND The District Collector, Krishna District and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri P. N.Murthy Counsel for Respondent Nos.1, 3 and 4: -- Counsel for Respondent No.2: Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj Counsel for Respondent No.5: Sri G. Elisha, standing counsel for Gram Panchayats The Court made the following: ORDER: The petitioner, who is an ex-Sarpanch of Gurrajupalem, G.Konduru Mandal, Krishna District, filed this writ petition feeling aggrieved by the resolution passed by the Gram Panchayat to construct a building for its office over the land to an extent of 1.49 cents in survey No.25/1. According to the petitioner, a part of this land is burial ground, which is being used for burial and cremation of the dead in the village and that with an oblique motive, the present Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat has chosen the said land for construction of Gram Panchayat building. In my opinion, the issue of location of Gram Panchayat building primarily falls in the realm of discretion of the administration. If a wrong place is chosen, the petitioner can seek redressal of his grievance before respondent No.1, who is the head of the Revenue of the District. If respondent No.1 is satisfied that the grievance of the petitioner is genuine, he can certainly interfere. A perusal of the record shows that the petitioner has already approached respondent No.1 with a representation. Therefore, respondent No.1 is directed to dispose of the petitioner’s representation after giving an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner and take appropriate decision as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.4172 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 15th February, 2011 GHN
