Date : 19.12.2018 Between:

Devireddy Rama Mohan Reddy S/o Peda Venkataswamy Aged about 59 years Occ Business Door No 9/311A Near M N M College 9th Ward Kanigiri village and Mandal Prakasam District Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh rep by its Principal Secretary Panchayat Raj Department A P Secretariat Velagapudi Amaravathi Guntur District & others Respondents The Court made the following:

ORAL ORDER:

Heard learned counsel for petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj.

2.

Petitioner claims to be owner of house plot admeasuring 162.66 sq yards in Survey No. 436, 8th ward, Kanigiri Nagara Panchayat, Kanigiri mandal, Prakasam district. This writ petition is filed alleging that even though petitioner submitted application for grant of building permission on 20.4.2018, permission is not granted and same amounts to illegal exercise of power.

3.

Ex.P-1 is representation dated 20.4.2018. It is only a request to the competent authority to grant building permission to construct a house, enclosing a sale deed and encumbrance certificate. Apparently, so far, no building permission application was made as required by the Rules governing the construction of houses in Gram Panchayats or Nagar Panchayats. Thus, even without applying for grant of building permission, petitioner cannot complain inaction, merely because he has submitted a representation. It is also appropriate to note that there is no acknowledgment of receipt of such representation of petitioner dated 20.4.2018. Therefore, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed and accordingly the same is dismissed. However, this order does not come in the way of petitioner submitting appropriate application seeking building permission. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, are closed. __________________ P NAVEEN RAO,J DATE: 19-12-2018 TVK
