THE HONBLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.18374 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the alleged action of the respondent in trying to demolish the poultry shed of the petitioner without considering his representation dated 2.07.2008 and without following due process of law as arbitrary and illegal. As could be seen from the material on record, on a petition made by villagers of Vangalapudi complaining that on account of the poultry shed belonging to the petitioner foul smell is spreading in the locality leading to ill health of the people, a notice was issued by the Gram Panchayat Oﬃcer on 27.06.2008 calling upon the petitioner to appear on 1.07.2008 before the Divisional Panchayat Oﬃcer, Rajahmundry and to produce record relating to his poultry shed. Accordingly, the petitioner appeared before the Divisional Panchayat Oﬃcer and submitted his explanation on 2.7.2008 explaining that he was granted necessary permission for establishing a poultry shed. Alleging that without considering the said explanation, the respondents are attempting to remove his poultry shed highhandedly, the present writ petition is filed. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel appearing for the 3rd respondent as well as the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj appearing for respondents 1 and 2 and keeping in view the explanation of the petitioner was already submitted on 2.07.2008, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the representation/explanation of the petitioner dated 2.07.2008 as well as the supporting material produced by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Till such time, the respondents shall not interfere with the poultry shed of the petitioner in any manner whatsoever. No costs. 26.08.2008.
