THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.11333 of 2010 Dated:09.06.2010 Between: R.Venkat Reddy. ...Petitioner And The District Collector/Member Secretary, D.P.C., Anantapur, And another. ...Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.11333 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is a resident of Bommeparthi Village of Raptadu Mandal in Anantapur District. The District Collector/Member Secretary of the District Panchayat Committee, Anantapur, issued proceedings being Rc.No.2752/2009 G8, dated 13.04.2010, sanctioning an amount of Rs.3,00,000/- for construction of community hall in the Village at an estimated cost of Rs.3,00,000/-. The funds for the same were directed to be drawn from Backward Region Grant Funds (BRGF). Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed the instant writ petition. It is the case of the petitioner that the community hall is proposed to be constructed by demolishing Village Chavidi (vuruvakili), which is not permissible. According to the petitioner, the Village Chavidi (vuruvakili) is an old structure, which was used as the main entrance during easter years to enter the fort and that if the same is removed, it shall be bad omen to the Village. It is further contention of the petitioner that there is no valid reason or rationale behind the decision of the first respondent to come to the conclusion that the place selected is the best area for construction of community hall. The petitioner has not placed any material in support of the contention that Grama Chavidi (Village Chavidi) is an old structure. He has also not placed any notification issued by the Government under the Ancient Monuments And Archaeological Sites And Remains Act, 1958, notifying the Village Chavidi at Bommeparthi Village as protected monument. Further, there is not even an averment in the writ affidavit to that effect. Reliance placed by the petitioner on the representation given by some of the villagers is not legal evidence to accept the contention. Indeed, as pointed out by the other side, petitioner is not a signatory to the representation given to the District Collector on 27.04.2010. Assistant Government Pleader submits that there is no fort in the Village, that though it is called vuruvakili, it is only a Grama Chavidi, which is in a dilapidated condition, and that the same was already demolished and the construction of community hall is made up to basement level. This Court has no reason to disbelieve the submission of the Assistant Government Pleader, which is made based on instructions obtained by him. The Writ Petition for the above reasons is dismissed in limine. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 09.06.2010 vs
