HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.16318 of 2011 Date : 13-10-2011 Between: Chanda Venkata Swamy and others .. Petitioners and Government of Andhra Pradesh, Represented by its Secretary, MunicipalAdministratin & Urban Development (Elec.1) Department, Hyderabad. Counsel for petitioners : None appeared Counsel for respondent No.1 : Assistant Government Pleader for Municipal Administration Counsel for respondent No.2 : Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue Counsel for respondent No.3 : None appeared The Court made the following: ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1 in not considering the representation dated 20-5-2011 of petitioner No.1 in the light of the report in Rk.No.2045/2009/A2 (Panchayat) dated 28-5-2011 of respondent No.2 and report vide Lr.No.15406/2009-Ele.-1, dated 29-5-2011 of the Commissioner and Director of Municipal Administration, Hyderabad, for upgradation of Uravakonda Gram Panchayat as a Nagar Panchayat, as illegal and arbitrary. When this case came up on previous occasions, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Municipal Administration submitted that the file relating to upgradation of Uravakonda Gram Panchayat into a Nagar Panchayat is pending with the Hon’ble Chief Minister and that some time is needed for reporting action thereon. Accordingly, the case was adjourned on 13-9-2011. Even though, one month had elapsed since then, the learned Assistant Government Pleader has stated that the file is still with respondent No.1. In my opinion, it would be just and appropriate that respondent No.1 takes a decision on the issue relating to upgradation of Uravakonda Gram Panchayat into a Nagar Panchayat in the light of the reports referred to above. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to decide the issue and communicate the decision to petitioner No.1 within a period of one month from the date of receipt of this order. As a sequel, WPMP No.19574/2011 is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy Date : 13-10-2011 AM
