Alleging that certain lands in R.S.No.39/8 admeasuring Ac.0-31 cents and in R.S.No.39/9B to the extent of Ac.0-22 cents under Penugonda Gram Panchayat, Penugonda Mandal, West Godavari District, is being unauthorisedly converted into non-agricultural land, petitioner made two complaints dated 14.11.2015 and 28.11.2015 before the Secretary, Penugonda Gram Panchayat, as well as to the District Panchayat Officer, Eluru, and to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kovvur respectively. Since no action is taken by respondent Nos.3 and 5 on the said complaints, the present writ petition is filed.

not see any inaction, which warrants invocation of jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.

Writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
