The petitioners are residents of East Gogulapalli Gram Panchayat of Allur Mandal in Nellore District. Initially, Gogulapalli was a revenue village. The same was subsequently bifurcated as East Gogulapalli and West Gogulapalli and two separate Gram Panchayats were duly constituted. It is the case of the petitioner that as per the notification bifurcating the Gram Panchayat, the hamlets called Thurupu Gogulapalli, Chandrasekharapuram, Gopalapuram, Dalitawada, Nadimuru and Deyyaladibba were included in East Gogulapalli and Chintachettu Girijana Colony included in West Gogulapalli Gram Panchayat. Long thereafter in July 2002, the first respondent herein in exercise of powers under Section 3(3) of the A.P. District Formation Act, 1974 (District Formation Act), issued preliminary notification proposing to include certain lands in West Gogulapalli and East Gogulapalli duly altering the boundaries of the two villages. Objections were invited to be made within a period of thirty (30) days. Accordingly, the petitioners submitted their objections. They allege that, in spite of that, the first respondent did not issue final notification under Section 3(4) of District Formation Act. Therefore, they filed the present writ petition. This matter has been coming up before this Court from 07.9.2006 onwards, at the request of learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General) to obtain instructions. After obtaining instructions, learned Assistant Government Pleader submits that the matter is still pending before the first respondent and necessary steps are being taken to pass appropriate orders/public notification within a period of two months. While recording the submission made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader, this writ petition is disposed of, directing the first respondent to publish the final notification under Section 3(4) of District Formation Act within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) September 26, 2006 YS
