The petitioners’ apprehension that their property i.e., Arunodaya complex 47-11-27 situated at Dwarakanagar, Visakhapatnam is likely to be demolished under the demolition drive by the respondent-Municipal Corporation without following the procedure. The learned standing counsel for the respondent- Municipal Corporation submits that even if any action is taken, the respondent-Municipal Corporation will comply with the provisions of H.M.C. Act by issuing a notice under Section 452 of the H.M.C. Act, considering the explanation of the petitioners and then passing an order under Section 636 of the said Act, if warranted. The petitioners placed reliance upon the perpetual injunction decree in OS No. 1846 of 1994 on the file of the Prl. District Munisff, Visakhapatnam, dated 24.7.1997 which was obtained by their predecessor in interest against the respondent herein. In view of the statement of the learned standing counsel for the respondent-Municipal Corporation, there is no reason to presume that the respondent would not follow due process of law. The writ petition is, therefore, disposed of directing the respondent-Municipal Corporation to follow the provisions of the H.M.C Act and take appropriate action after due notice. No costs. _________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J Dt. 21.11.2011 NB: CC of order be furnished by tomorrow. /BO/ KR
