THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.1703 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner states that he has inherited a vacant site of 36 square yards in Ward No.59, Survey No.93, situated at Reddy Tungalam Village, Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation. On the southern side thereof, he has purchased a house site in the name of his wife and constructed a house. The 4th respondent is said to be their neighbour, on the eastern side. The petitioner states that the 4th respondent started construction of house, and in the process, he has encroached into an extent of 10 x 18 yards, into his site. He made a complaint to respondents 1 to 3, alleging acts of encroachment and construction of building without permission, against the 4th respondent. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. Assuming that the petitioner is the owner of any particular site, and that the 4th respondent has encroached into it, the remedy available to him is to approach the Civil Court. However, respondents 1 to 3 can certainly bestow their attention, on the allegation that construction is being made without permission and if what is stated by the petitioner is true, they can initiate action. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that respondents 1 to 3 shall examine the complaint submitted by the petitioner and take necessary steps, if any construction is being undertaken by the 4th respondent without permission. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.02.02.2011. GJ
