HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO ORDER:

The petitioner claims to be the owner of 5 guntas of land in Survey No.14/8, situated at Nadikuda Village, Gurrampudu Mandal, Nalgonda District. While so, the Gram Panchayat is constructing a building in the said land. This action of the Gram Panchayat is illegal. The petitioner alleges to have made oral complaints and since there was no response and the building construction is progressing at brisk pace, this writ petition is filed.

2. As seen from the averments in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition and the material papers enclosed to the writ petition, no complaint is filed by the petitioner either to the Gram Panchayat or to the higher authorities, such as the Divisional Panchayat Officer and the District Panchayat Officer, complaining of illegal construction made on the piece of land belonging to him, but straight away, this writ petition is filed. Further more, the Gram Panchayat, who is alleged to be undertaking the construction of the building is not made a party. Thus, the writ in the present form is not maintainable and liable to be dismissed.

3. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, it is open to the petitioner to agitate the grievance of the petitioner before the competent authority and as and when such a complaint is filed, the competent authority shall look into the grievance of the petitioner and take a decision, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three (3) weeks from the date of making such complaint. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in these writ petitions shall stand closed.
