THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6924 of 2011 Date:18.03.2011 Between: Smt. Bandi Susheela and another ..... Petitioners AND The Gram Panchayat, Bodduppal Village .....Respondent Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri Aditya, for Sri N. Jeevan Kumar Counsel for Respondent: Sri P. Raghavender Reddy, standing counsel for Gram Panchayats The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside the order dated 28.12.2010 of the Secretary of the respondent Gram Panchayat, whereby he has rejected the petitioners’ application for building permission. At the hearing Sri Aditya, learned counsel representing Sri N. Jeevan Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners, has not disputed that against the impugned order, the petitioners have a remedy of statutory appeal under Section 128(1) of the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 (for short ‘the Act’) to the Gram Panchayat and a further appeal to the District Panchayat Officer under Section 128(2) of the Act. The law is well settled that this Court exercising its discretionary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India would not ordinarily entertain a writ petition filed bypassing the alternative remedy. Therefore, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition and adjudicate the same on merits. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to avail the alternative remedies as noted above. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.8629 of 2011 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 18th March, 2011 GHN
