THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.7935 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be joint-owner of House No.1/96 of Cheriyal Gram Panchayat, Warangal District. It is said to have developed upon himself and his brothers, from his father. His grievance is that the respondent No.4, who has been working as Head Master in a High School in the Mandal, trespassed into the property on 08-03-2009, and started demolishing the old house. The petitioner submits that the 4th respondent did not apply for any permission of the Gram Panchayat; and though he himself submitted an application to the Gram Panchayat, complaining about the unauthorized activities of construction, no action has been taken thereon. This writ petition is filed with a prayer to declare the inaction on the part of the 3rd respondent, to prevent the activities of the 4th respondent, as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj. Even from the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is evident that the 4th respondent has demolished the existing old house, and dug a borewell. In case, the construction undertaken by the 4th respondent is contrary to the provisions of the A.P. Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, and the Rules made thereunder, the 3rd respondent has to take action in accordance with law. However, the petitioner cannot expect the 3rd respondent, to protect his property. If the petitioner is so advised, he has to file a suit against the 4th respondent, and claim necessary reliefs. The writ petition is filed, almost in the form of a suit for injunction. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to file a suit, claiming necessary relief against the 4th respondent. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.27-04-2009. KO
