HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.29007 OF 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to declare the action of the respondents in threatening to demolish the mulgies bearing Municipal No.11-6-375 to 11-6-379, situated at Nampally, Hyderabad, by virtue of show cause notice bearing Lr.No.379/TPS/C7/GHMC/2011, dated 27.10.2011, even before submission of explanation by petitioner and its consideration and without following due process of law, as arbitrary, illegal, in violation of well settled principles of natural justice and contrary to the provisions of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 (for short, the Act). 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondents. 3. It is stated that the petitioner is the absolute owner and possessor of the mulgies bearing Municipal Nos.11-6-375 to 379, admeasuring 90 sq. yards, situated at Nampally, Hyderabad, having purchased the same through a registered document dated 11.04.2008 and he has been enjoying the possession of the same without any interruption whatsoever, that the 2nd respondent issued the impugned notice dated 27.10.2011, stating that the petitioner has un-authorisedly erected columns for constructing shops without obtaining any prior permission from the Corporation. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the respondents are attempting to demolish the structures of the subject site, that due to timely intervention of the locality people, the 2nd respondent left the place threatening that again they would come with police protection and demolish the same and hence he prays to allow the writ petition. 5. On the other hand, the learned standing counsel for the respondents contended that as the petitioner is making the constructions without obtaining any permission, the officials of the respondents went to the subject site to demolish the structures and hence there are no grounds to allow the writ petition. 6. As seen from the impugned proceedings dated 27.10.2011, it is only a show cause notice issued by the respondent No.2 calling upon the petitioner to explain within seven days from the date of its receipt as to why the constructions should not be removed, altered or pull down. It is not the case of the petitioner that the authority who issued the notice lacks jurisdiction. Therefore, the petitioner is at liberty to give explanation to the show-cause notice issued by the respondent No.2 within a period of seven days from the date of receipt of copy of this order and thereafter, the respondents shall take decision on the explanation that may be given by the petitioner in accordance with the Act, byelaws and rules and in the meanwhile, the petitioner shall not make any further constructions in the premises in question. 7. With the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________ K.C.BHANU,J. 29.10.2011, Gk. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.
