IN THE HIGH COURT OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD W.P.No.6676 of 2001 Dt.08-08-2007 Between: 1. Shaik Nasar Vali and others. ..Petitioners and 1. The Markapur Municipality, Markapur, rep.by its Commissioner, Markapur and another ..Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY W.P.No.6676 of 2001 Oral Order: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and none represented for the respondents. This writ petition is filed questioning the notification issued by the Markapur Municipality to conduct public auction of the right to collect the fees in respect of items mentioned in the notification and the right to enjoy on lease the rooms relating to the Municipal Council for the year 2001-2002 wherein they can collect Rs.2 per chicken and Rs.10/- per day from the poulterer. This Court while admitting the writ petition stayed the collection of Rs.10/- per day from the poulterer as per the notification issued by the 1st respondent but, however, refused to grant stay with regard to the collection of Rs.2/- in terms of notification. No counter as such has been filed. Neither the respondents nor the contractor who awarded the contract came forward to say about the present position. Petitioners who allotted premises are paying Rs.1,000/- per month towards rent and also paying Rs.2/- per chicken and conducting chicken business in the premises. In view of the same, further collecting fees of Rs.10/- per day from the poulterer apart from Rs.2/- per chicken by the Corporation is not justified. In view of the fact that the contract period has already been expired, no further adjudication is required to be made in the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed. No costs. _______________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J. 08-08-2007 Murthy
