THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 20123 OF 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner states that he was granted the leasehold rights, in respect of the Coconut trees, on the bunds of lake of Chinchinada Grampanchayat, West Godavari District, on the basis of auction conducted on 30.6.2008, and that he is entitled to reap the beneﬁt, as regards the grass also. He feels aggrieved by a resolution passed by the Grampanchayat, the 3rd respondent herein, on 29.8.2008. Through the impugned resolution, the 3rd respondent proposed to conduct auction of the right to utilize the green grass on the bunds of three irrigation resources. The petitioner states that once he was awarded the leasehold rights, in respect of coconut trees, the respondents are not entitled to deny him the right to use or cut the grass on the bunds. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj, and learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.3. The lease in favour of the petitioner was exclusively for the purpose of enjoying the beneﬁt out of coconut trees, on the bunds of the irrigation sources. There is nothing to disclose that he was granted rights, as regards the grass on the surface of the tank bunds. The Grampanchayat is entitled to conduct auction of the rights in respect of grass, separately. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ 19th September 2008 PAN
