G.Bujjamma & others. .....PETITIONERs AND 1 The District Collector – cum Executive Director, A.P State Housing Corporation, Chittoor District & others. .....RESPONDENTs This Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO:17937 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioners assail the inaction of A.P State Housing Corporation, Chittoor District in releasing the amounts availed for construction of their houses under the Indira Awas Yojana Housing Scheme 2006-2007. It is the case of the petitioners that they have completed the construction partially and that they would be put to great inconvenience if the balance amounts are not released. The learned Standing Counsel on instructions stated that 10 houses were granted permission under the programme in Answamipalli village, Renigunta Mandal and that 6 out of 10 houses have reached roof level while 4 houses are yet to be started. In so far as the beneficiaries of the 6 houses partially constructed are concerned, materials of the value of Rs.10,519/- are stated to have been issued by the Department. The balance payment due upto roof level construction is stated to be only Rs.1,881/- per beneficiary. The learned Standing counsel further stated that this balance payment would be made over to the petitioners immediately after getting permission for on line data entry of the beneficiaries. It is stated that the petitioners’ ration cards were also verified in this regard and they were found eligible. The only reason for delay in the release of this balance amount appears to be that the respondents need to get requisite permission from the Managing Director of the Corporation at Hyderabad. This exercise cannot be permitted to go on for an indefinite period. There shall accordingly be a direction to respondents to complete the necessary exercise for sanctioning and remitting the balance amounts due to the petitioners within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and they shall the pay the same to the petitioners thereupon. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with the aforestated direction. No order as to the costs. _________________ Justice Sanjay Kumar Date:2.8.2010. gurc THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO:17937 of 2010 2nd August, 2010
