THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY W.P.No.13867 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the proposed action of the respondent in trying to demolish the compound wall of the petitioners for widening the road. This Court, in catena of cases, categorically held that if the Municipal Corporation proposes to widen the road, it has to either obtain the consent of the landowners for widening of such road or if the owners, whose properties are going to be effected in such widening, have not consented for road widening, it can acquire the same under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 and only after such acquisition it has to proceed with widening of the road. In view of the same, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to follow due process of law either under the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 or under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 for demolishing or taking possession of the properties, which are going to be effected by the road widening. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J. 04-05-2011 va
