THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITON NO. 7760 OF 1999 DATED: 12-07-2006 BETWEEN: Pydah Educational Academy Rep.by its President P. Krishna Prasad … Petitioner And Urban Development Authority Visakhapatnam Rep. by its Vice Chairman, Visakhapatnam …Respondent THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITON NO. 7760 OF 1999 ORDER: The petitioner questions the proceedings dated 09-03-1999 issued by the respondent. The said notice was issued by the respondent stating that the petitioner has been allotted accommodation in Nehru Nagar shopping Complex and he failed to pay the dues towards rent, electricity charges etc. and the late fee as per the terms of the allotment. It is stated that the petitioner is due and payable the installments amount as on 01-03-1999 amounting to Rs.1,56,486/- and the electricity charges/late fee Rs.196/- and the total of Rs.1,56,682/-. Accordingly, petitioner was directed to pay the said amount within 15 days to Urban Development Authority, failing which, the amount will be recovered under the provisions of the Revenue Recovery Act. It is the case of the petitioner that certain enhancement of the rent has been made but the enhanced particulars have not at all been furnished to him from which date the existing rent was enhanced and at what rate it was enhanced. It is stated that without furnishing any particulars, issuing of impugned notice is illegal and arbitrary. I am of the opinion that the allotment of accommodation or leasing out the accommodation by the Urban Development Authority in favour of the petitioner and other institutions is purely a contractual one in nature and this court cannot entertain such writ petitions and resolve the dispute as I do not see any statutory function that has been exercised by the respondent. Therefore, the writ petition is misconceived and not maintainable. But in view of the counter filed by the respondent, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the matter. In the counter-affidavit filed by the respondent, it is stated that respondent authority has not received any letter from the petitioner asking to furnish the particulars and the petitioner intentionally misrepresenting that he has sent a letter to the respondent-Urban Development Authority asking the details and the respondent authority has not furnished the details. But nothing prevented the respondent authorities in furnishing the particulars in the counter. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondent to furnish the particulars of the demanded amount of Rs.1,56,486-00 relating to rents, enhanced rents, electricity charges, late fee etc. to the petitioner so as to enable the petitioner to file his objections. The respondent is at liberty to take appropriate action in accordance with law after giving such particulars as indicated above within two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Interim stay granted earlier not to dispossess the petitioner is vacated. Writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ V. ESWARAIAH, J. Dated: 12-07-2006 RNS
