JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY FRIDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN WRIT PETITION No.26098 of 2011 Between: T.Ammaji. … Petitioner And Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation, Reptd., by its Commissioner, Visakhapatnam. … Respondent Counsel for the petitioner: Sri Sita Ram Chaparla. Counsel for the respondent: Sri N.Ranga Reddy. This Court made the following: ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondent in contemplating to demolish the petitioner’s building bearing Door No.10-1-44/1 in T.S.No.71, CBM Compound, VIP road, Visakhapatnam, pending her application, dated 12-7-2008, for regularization as illegal and arbitrary. It is the pleaded case of the petitioner that she has constructed ground floor over an extent of 184.78 square meters; and that the said construction was regularized by the respondent in terms of order, dated 9-2-2000, under Building Regularization Scheme. It is her further case that she obtained permission for construction of first and second floors on 13-9-2002; and that in the year 2005 she has constructed the third floor and applied for regularization by paying the requisite fee of Rs.10,000/- through Banker’s cheque bearing No.745624, dated 10-7- 2008. She has pleaded that her application for regularization is still pending with the respondent; and that on 15-9-2011 the officials of the respondent visited her property and threatened to demolish the third floor by bringing the machinery on 17-9-2011. The grievance of the petitioner is that without disposing of her application for regularization, the officials of the respondent are seeking to demolish her building. Sri N.Ranga Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent, submitted that if the petitioner’s application for regularization is still pending, the respondent will await disposal of the said application before taking appropriate action depending upon the outcome of the said application. The above submission of the learned Standing Counsel is placed on record and the Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of with the direction to the respondent not to demolish the third floor raised by the petitioner, if she has already filed an application for regularization of the same and the same has not so far been disposed of by it. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.32202 of 2011 is disposed of as infructuous. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:16-9-2011.
