THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA
WRIT PETITION NO: 26398 OF 2025 O R D E R:
1. This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, claiming the following relief:
“to issue a writ order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in set aside the gram panchayat resolution no.37 passed for construction of panchayat building in Kunthalagudem grampanchayat by violating the previous agreement made by the two villages, the previous panchayat resolution for construction of gram panchayat building in Kanakadripuram and the land allocation as unjust, illegal, arbitrary, unconstitutional and contrary to the provisions of A.P. Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, besides violation of principles of natural justice and consequently set aside the same/”
2. Though the petitioners made several allegations against the respondents, during hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners requested this Court, without touching the merits of the case, to issue a direction to the respondents to dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated –Nil- [Ex.P-2 at Page no.22 & 23 of the writ petition paper book], with a liberty to challenge the subsequent proceedings if any. 3. However, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue readily agreed to dispose of the representation of the petitioner, if any pending with the authorities. 4. In view of the submission of the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, I need not decide the truth or otherwise of the allegations made in

the petition. This Court is conscious that no such direction be issued, in view of the judgment of the Apex Court in “The Government of India v. P.Venkatesh1”, wherein the Apex Court held that such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions. But, they do no service to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioners himself requested to issue a direction to the respondents to dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated –Nil- [Ex.P-2 at Page no.22 & 23 of the writ petition paper book], I find no other alternative except to issue such direction. 5.
In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated –Nil- [Ex.P-2 at Page no.22 & 23 of the writ petition paper book] made by the petitioners, in accordance with law, within two (02) months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. No costs. 6. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall also stand closed. _____________________________________ JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA Date:26.09.2025 SP
