Hyderabad, July 7: Advocate-General C.V. Mohan Reddy on Monday refuted the charges of the MLC, Mr Y.B. Rajendra Prasad of the Telugu Desam on the sanction of Rs 992 crore for development of basic amenities in rural areas.
While arguing before Justice Ms G. Rohini on a petition filed by the MLC challenging the GO MS No. 13 , the advocate-general said the works would be awarded to the self-help groups and other committees on nomination basis in accordance with the Panchayat Raj Act.
He submitted that the district minister was made in-charge of the scheme to identify the works needed in the village. The sarpanch of the village has the power to supervise the works along with officials concerned.
He said that the contention of the petitioners, that the government issued the GO only to rehabilitate its party workers and the petition was filed only to get political benefits, was baseless.
He told the court that a similar petition filed by another TD leader was pending before a division bench. Justice Rohini directed the registry to post the petition before the division bench.
