house in the said plot and the same was acknowledged by the Gram Panchayat on 18-06-2013. Thereafter, as no action has been taken by the respondentGram Panchayat, the petitioner made another application on 13-02-2015 to the 2nd respondent District Panchayat Officer, Medak complaining about the inaction of the Gram Panchayat in issuing such building permission. In spite of the said application, neither the 2nd respondent nor the 3rd respondent had taken any action on the said representations. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed.

4. In view of above facts and circumstances, it is suffice to say that as and when the petitioner makes an application along with necessary fees and relevant documents along with plan as per rules in force, the 4th respondent Gram Panchayat may consider the same and grant permission in accordance with law, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of the application filed by the petitioner.

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed.
