Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Sri Ravi Cheemalapati, learned Standing Counsel.

The grievance of the petitioner in the present Writ Petition is that, despite the opinion rendered by the learned Assistant Government Pleader, and despite the legal notice, dated 11.03.2016, got issued by the petitioner herein, the SecretaryPalakoderu Gram Panchayat, West Godavari District-fourth respondent herein is not taking any action in the direction of considering the request of the petitioner herein.

Having heard the learned counsel on either side, and in the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition with a direction to

the Secretary-Palakoderu Gram Panchayat, West Godavari District-fourth respondent herein to consider the case of the petitioner herein for mutation of his name in the Gram Panchayat records, strictly in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible.

Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
