LISA GILL, CJ.

Prayer in this Writ Appeal is for setting aside order dated 09.03.2026 passed by learned Single Judge in Writ Petition No.6475 of 2026.

2. Present appellants/writ petitioners filed the said writ petition seeking a direction to respondents to consider representations dated 24.01.2026 and 17.02.2026 stated to have been submitted by the villagers of Ramavarappadu (Kothuru) Village along with writ petitioners.

3. Grievance raised by petitioners is that construction of Gram Panchayat Building is being incorrectly carried out at Survey No.958 of Ramavarappadu (Kothuru) Village as per proceedings dated 25.12.2025 of respondent No.6.

4. Learned Single Bench, on considering the facts and circumstances and specific stand of respondent No.6/Tahsildar with reference to report dated 22.12.2025, found no ground to cause interference. It is specifically observed that the land in question has been correctly identified for construction of the Panchayat Building whereas petitioners seek construction of the building upon land in Survey No.782 measuring Ac.0-28 cents, which is classified as a “Well Poramboke (Water Course)”. Aggrieved therefrom, present appeal has been filed.

5. Learned counsel for appellants vehemently argues that impugned order dated 09.03.2026 has been incorrectly passed without taking into consideration entire facts and circumstances in its correct perspective. The Panchayat building is being constructed at a considerable distance from the Village Centre whereas it is for the convenience of villagers. However, it appears that it is being constructed for convenience of the Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat, who has proceeded in a biased manner. It is further submitted that husband of the Sarpanch is the Contractor raising the building. It is, thus, prayed that this appeal be allowed.

6. Learned counsel for respondents have opposed the same while supporting decision dated 09.03.2026. Dismissal of appeal is sought.

7. We have heard learned counsel for parties and have perused the file but we do not find any ground to cause any interference.

8. Learned Single Bench, while considering the factual matrix, has referred to specific applicable instructions. Relevant portion of order 09.03.2026 reads as under:-

“5. A perusal of the instructions would manifest that the Gram Panchayat passed a resolution on 23.12.2025, proposing to construct the Gram Panchayat building, and the works commenced in the month of January, 2026. The land identified at Sy.No.958 is located at a distance of 200 Meters from the village center and has access to the road. The land suggested by the petitioners in Sy.No.782 is located at a distance of 2.5 KM from Ramavarappadu SC Colony. The construction of the building has been completed up to the basement level, and pillars have been raised. The Panchayat Secretary of the 8th respondent, in fact, considered the representations and will communicate the endorsement shortly. Funds were allotted to construct the building under Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) in convergence with NREGS Grant for the construction of a Gram Panchayat building measuring 1226 Square feet in an extent of Ac.0.05 cents in eight Gram Panchayats of various Mandals, including Ramavarappadu Gram Panchayat. Along with the instructions, the proceedings of the Tahsildar – 6th respondent are also annexed.

6. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development submitted instructions of the District Panchayat Officer, SPSR Nellore District, stating that the present location where the Gram Panchayat building is being constructed is accessible to all the habitations of the Ramavarappadu Gram Panchayat.

7. The construction of the Gram Panchayat building and its identification of the suitable location were done by the authorities after taking into consideration all the factual aspects viz., suitability, accessibility etc.. In fact, a resolution was passed by the Gram Panchayat as noted supra. As seen from the instruc
