Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj. The petitioners have only expressed an apprehension that certain works sanctioned within their Gram Panchayat limits are likely to be allotted to the sixth respondent. The question as to whether the works in question are covered by circular dated 03.12.2008 issued by the second respondent and whether they are liable to be entrusted to the petitioners, needs to be examined. The Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the second respondent to follow the prescribed procedure, as and when works for providing C.C. road within the limits of the Gram Panchayat, are allotted. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.09.02.2009. Note: Furnish C.C. in three days. (B/o) GJ
