THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4721 of 2011 Dated 28th February, 2011 Between: Pulli Koteswaraiah and others …Petitioners And Chamadala Gram Panchayat, Chamadala Village, Jaladanki Mandal, SPSR Nellore District rep.by its Sarpanch and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri K.S.Gopalakrishnan Counsel for respondent Nos.1 & 2: Sri G.Elisha Counsel for respondent No.3 : AGP for Panchayat Raj The Court made the following: ORDER: The petitioners are residents of Chamadala Village, Jaladanki Mandal, SPSR Nellore District. They have alleged that on the request of the Villagers, respondent No.2 has made available Government poramboke land in Survey Nos.192/3 and 192/5 for construction of a Zilla Parishad High School. It is their pleaded case that there is a pond locally called as “Koneru Water Pond” in Survey No.195, which is adjoining the temple in the Village, and that the Sarpanch of respondent No.1-Gram Panchayat, by abusing his powers, is intending to construct the High School by closing the pond, instead of utilising the land in Survey Nos.192/3 and 192/5, which is a Government poramboke and made available by respondent No.2 for such construction. The petitioners further pleaded that several representations were made to respondent No.3 and that so far he has not taken any action thereon. The grievance expressed by the petitioners in this writ petition appears to have some justification, because it is not desirable that the water pond, which is allegedly useful for drinking water for cattle, is closed for construction of a building, more so when an alternative land belonging to the Government is allegedly available. Respondent No.3, being the administrative head of the District, requires to apply his mind before permitting respondent No.1 from proceeding with the construction. As the petitioners have stated that they have already made representations to him, respondent No.3 is directed to consider such representations, if any, made, take a decision thereon and communicate the same to the petitioners, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.5838 of 2011 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 28th February, 2011 VGB
