THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.24114 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the members of Methodist Church, Vikarabad, the 6th respondent herein. A Church building is being constructed at Vikarabad, and a Committee, shown as the 7th respondent, is constituted, to oversee the work. The 8th respondent is awarded the contract. The petitioners claim that the Church building is being constructed with a defective plan and substandard material. It is stated that, when a representation was made to the Sub-Collector, Vikarabad, the 4th respondent, inspection was caused through a team of engineers from JNTU, which, in turn, is said to have suggested 10 corrective steps. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents have not taken any steps, as suggested by the team. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Government Pleader for Revenue, and learned counsel for the respondent No.6. The writ petition cannot be maintained, on several counts. Firstly, the relief is claimed against a Church, which does not answer the description of a State, nor any public remedy is available against it. Secondly, the grievance pointed out by the petitioners is, in relation to a building. Neither the petitioners, nor this Court can sit as Appellate Authorities, to decide the correctness of plan, or the quantity and standard of construction work. The petitioners must stop, with expressing their apprehension, or views, to the concerned authorities, and leave it at that. The insistence, beyond a point, would turn out to be excessive interference. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.
