Ray, AGA CORAM: MR. JUSTICE R.K. PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 28.10.2025 01. 1. Heard Mr. Mohanty, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. Ray, learned AGA for the State. 2. Instant writ petition is filed by the petitioners for a direction to the opposite parties and in particular, opposite party No.2 to consider selection of a suitable site for construction of a bus stop under Laccmi Bus Scheme and to cause an enquiry into the allegations made by them and at the same time, to cancel the work order in respect of the site identified for the said purpose on the grounds stated. 3. Mr. Mohanty, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the site selection was directed in view of letter of the Tahasildar, Nilgiri at Annexure-2 and it was followed by the R.I. report i.e. Annexure-3 dated 5th December, 2023 with intimation that there is no suitable Government land available in Kansa G.P. It is claimed that despite such report and even p. 2 though there is no bus stop constructed under the Scheme, fund has been sanctioned, however, no bill was cleared and therefore, an enquiry is necessary. It is further claimed that the petitioners have approached opposite party No.2 with a representation dated 6th January, 2025 at Annexure-4 but without any decision thereon till date. 4. Recorded the submission of Mr. Ray, learned AGA for the State. 5. Considering the grievance of the petitioners, who claimed to be the members of the Gram Sabha with the allegations made and in view of the fact that such grievance is pending decision of opposite party No.2, this Court is of the view that the same is required to be attended to with an enquiry, if it is felt necessary and for a decision in that regard at the earliest. 6. Accordingly, it is ordered. 7. In the result, the writ petition stands disposed of with the direction as aforesaid to be complied with by opposite party No.2 considering Annexure-4 and to dispose of the same as soon as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order, if required, after providing an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners as well as the parties likely to be affected thereby. 8. Issue urgent certified copy as per rules. (R.K. Pattanaik) Judge Alok
