THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.5336 OF 2006 DATED 17TH MARCH, 2011 BETWEEN Sunkara Appala Swami …Petitioner And Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by Prl. Secretary, Panchayat Raj & Rural Development Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.5336 OF 2006 ORDER: The petitioner, a ward member of Narava Gram Panchayat, Gantyada Mandal, Vizianagaram District, filed the present case aggrieved by the proceedings dated 10.03.2006 issued by the Executive Engineer, Panchayat Raj, Vizianagaram Division, Vizianagaram, entrusting the work of construction of a C.C. road from Routhu Krishnamma House to Marrichettu at Narava Village, Gantyada Mandal, Vizianagaram District, to the sixth respondent Mahila Sangam, on the ground that the same was contrary to the Gram Panchayat resolution dated 06.12.2005 and the guidelines issued in G.O.Ms.No.37, Panchayat Raj & Rural Development (PROGS.IA) Department, dated 18.02.2005. No interim orders were granted by this Court interdicting the execution of the subject work by the sixth respondent Mahila Sangam. The Executive Engineer, Panchayat Raj, Vizianagaram Division, the fourth respondent, filed his counter stating that two applications had been received for execution of the subject work – one, being from the Village Level Committee headed by the petitioner and the other, from the sixth respondent Mahila Sangam. With a view to boost the morale of and give an impetus to the downtrodden women from undeveloped remote rural areas, he entrusted the subject work to the sixth respondent Mahila Sangam. He further stated that the work had already been completed by the sixth respondent Mahila Sangam in May, 2006 and the amounts in respect thereof were also paid to the said Sangam in June, 2006. That being so, the challenge levelled by the petitioner against the action of the fourth respondent in entrusting the subject work to the sixth respondent Mahila Sangam becomes purely academic. As the said work has already been completed, no cause survives for adjudication in this writ petition as regards the consequential prayer of the petitioner to entrust the subject work to the petitioner as per the Gram Panchayat resolution. The Writ Petition is devoid of merit and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 17TH MARCH, 2011. VGSR/PGS
