V. N. Narayana Rao – R4 CORAM : THE CHIEF JUSTICE LISA GILL SRI JUSTICE NINALA JAYASURYA DATE : 8th May 2026 LISA GILL, CJ. Prayer in this appeal is for setting aside order dated 18.02.2026, passed by learned Single Bench whereby writ petition filed by present appellant has been dismissed. 2. Writ petition No.18300 of 2025 was filed by present appellant/writ petitioner being aggrieved of permission granted to respondent No.4 to raise 2 HCJ & NJS, J W.A. No:626 of 2026 construction over land as detailed. It is case of petitioner that his mother purchased 28 Sq. Yds. and 22 Sq. Yds. of land in Tapeswaram Village and Gram Panchayat, Mandapeta Mandal, East Godavari District vide document Nos.2849 of 1992 and 2850 of 1992 respectively. 3. Respondent No.4 owned land on northern and eastern boundaries of petitioner’s property. Respondent No.4 sought sanction of building plan for construction of a residential house to which present appellant submitted objections on premise that a civil suit O.S. No.33 of 2023 was pending before Principal Junior Civil Judge, Alamuru. Application was thus returned to respondent No.4. Writ petition No.31557 of 2023 was then filed by respondent No.4 being aggrieved. 4. Said writ petition was disposed of on 02.04.2024 directing competent authority to pass a reasoned order after affording an opportunity of hearing to present appellant as well as respondent No.4. Pursuant to order dated 02.04.2024, passed in writ petition No.31557 of 2023, notice was issued to writ petitioner as well as respondent No.4 leading to passing of order, dated 19.05.2025. 5. It is stated in order dated 19.05.2025, that present appellant verbally stated that documents filed by respondent No.4 are false but no such document or material was placed on file to substantiate such allegations. It is also clearly stated therein that despite being summoned for enquiry through 3 HCJ & NJS, J W.A. No:626 of 2026 various notices, documents regarding common path between the parties were never submitted by present appellant. Sanction was afforded to respondent No.4 to raise building vide order dated 19.05.2025. Consequently, order dated 11.06.2025, came to be passed regarding the details of permissible construction, which is the subject matter of challenge in writ petition 18300 of 2025. 6. Learned Single Judge on considering the facts and circumstances dismissed writ petition while observing that appellant/writ petitioner straightaway filed writ petition without even availing effective remedy under Section 128 of Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, and moreover had even failed to submit any documents before competent authority to substantiate his claim, therefore, writ petition was dismissed. Aggrieved therefrom, this writ appeal has been filed. 7. Learned counsel for appellant vehemently argued that learned Single Bench has not considered the controversy in its correct perspective. Plans submitted by respondent No.4 have been incorrectly approved. It is thus argued that this appeal ought to be allowed as prayed for. 8. Mr. Palla Balu Anil Kumar appearing vice Mr. V. V. N. Narayana Rao, counsel for respondent No.4, refuted the arguments raised and seeks dismissal of this appeal. 9. We have heard learned counsel for parties and have perused the file. 4 HCJ & NJS, J W.A. No:626 of 2026 10. It is a matter of record and not denied that order dated 19.05.2025, was passed by competent authority pursuant to order dated 02.04.2024, passed in writ petition No.31557 of 2023. Appellant has admittedly not challenged said speaking order dated 19.05.2025, and has chosen to lay challenge to permission granted to respondent No.4 on 11.06.2025 to construct a residential building. 11. In the given facts and circumstances, no ground whatsoever is pointed out by learned counsel for appellant which calls for interference by this Court in exercise of appellate jurisdiction. He is unable to point out any illegality or infirmity in impugned order dated 18.02.2026, passed by learned Single Bench. 12. This Writ Appeal is accordingly dismissed, however, with liberty to appellant to avail remedies as may be available to him in accordance with law. No costs. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. LISA GILL, CJ NINALA JAYASURYA, J akn 5 HCJ & NJS, J W.A. No:626 of 2026 HON’BLE MRS.JUSTICE LISA GILL, CHIEF JUSTICE & HON’BLE MR.
