Petitioner And The Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad, rep. by its Commissioner, Tank Bund, Hyderabad and 4 others .. Respondent THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.8541 of 2005 ORDER : In this Writ Petition, the petitioner, which is a Residents Welfare Association, seeks directions by way of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents and their staff in taking steps for removal of the Compost Centre with shed located in M.C.H. Park in Begumpet, Hyderabad, as illegal and arbitrary. The Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad has implemented the programme called “Litter Free Hyderabad” in the residential colonies for the purpose of collection and processing of household garbage through Vermi Composting. For the aforesaid purpose, the petitioner welfare association was permitted to erect a temporary shed for the purpose of erecting Vermi Compost Unit at M.C.H. Park in Swapna Nursing Home lane, Begumpet, Hyderabad. In this Writ Petition it is a grievance of the petitioner that at the instance of the third parties, without initiating any proceedings, respondents are taking steps for removal of such shed and compost beds, which are constructed by the petitioner as per the proceedings, dated 14-08- 2002. At the stage of admission this Court by order, dated 19-04-2005, ordered to maintain status quo and the said order continued in force during the pendency of the Writ Petition. Though the Writ Petition is of the year 2005, no counter-affidavit is filed. It is also fairly submitted by the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents that he is not able to get instructions in the matter from the respondents. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the material available on record, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the respondents not to take any steps for removal of the compost beds and shed constructed by the petitioner at M.C.H. Park, Swapna Nursing Home lane, Begumpet, Hyderabad, as per the proceedings issued by the Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad, dated 14-08-2002. However, it is made clear that the petitioner shall not use the land for any other purpose and if any unauthorised constructions are made by the petitioner, this order will not preclude the respondents to take steps in accordance with law. Subject to above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J. 10th December, 2009. skmr THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.8541 of 2005 Date 10-12-2009 Between : Greenland Residents Welfare Association (reg.) rep. by its Secretary, Mr.Major Shivakiran, son of G.S.Kumar, aged 39 years, at 6-3-1216/10, Methodist colony, Begumpet, Hyderabad ..
