IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY FRIDAY, THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF FEBRUARY, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY WRIT PETITION No.23969 of 2006 Between: T.Ajit Singh and another. … Petitioners AND State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Secretary, Ministry of Municipal Administration, Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad and another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: --- Counsel for the respondents: Sri R.Ramachandra Reddy, Standing counsel for GHMC. THE HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23969 OF 2006 ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to set aside notice dated 1-6-2006 issued by the Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad, respondent No.2 herein, under Section 454 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 (for short “the Act”). At the hearing, no one appeared for the petitioners. A perusal of the record shows that the present Writ Petition is filed questioning the show cause notice issued under Section 454 of the Act. In my considered view, this Writ Petition, questioning the show cause notice, cannot be entertained because, if the petitioners have any valid and tenable objections to the proposed action, they are entitled to file their explanation, and if they are aggrieved by an order passed thereon, it is open to them to avail such remedies as are available to them in law. The Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed. The petitioners are permitted to file their objections, if any, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On receipt of such objections, respondent No.2 shall pass appropriate orders thereon, before seeking to proceed against the alleged illegal construction. ------------------------------ ------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J 15-2-2008 MNR
