A building is said to have been constructed on it with the permission of the Ongole Municipality. It is also stated that a part of the area was acquired by the National Highway Authority for widening of National Highway No.5. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent is trying to demolish the compound wall constructed for the left over area without issuing any notice. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. On instructions, the leaned Standing Counsel for the respondent submits that the compound wall does not exist and the respondent has not taken any steps to demolish it. There should not be any uncertainty as to the fixation of boundaries for the land in possession and ownership of the petitioner, after part of it was acquired by the National Highways Authority. In case, the petitioner made any unauthorized constructions, or encroached into any public land, the respondent is vested with the power to initiate proceedings and to remove the same.

Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondent shall not demolish or otherwise interfere with the possession of the petitioner over the property in Survey No.189/1A2 without following the procedure prescribed by the A.P. Municipalities Act. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 03.11.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.25435 of 2007 Date: 03.11.2009 JSU
