THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.23915 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is the owner of premises bearing No.12-2-834/835 at Asif Nagar abutting the main road. It is stated that when she submitted an application for construction, plan was sanctioned on 22.08.1975 requiring her to surrender the land of width, of 17½ feet for the purpose of road widening. It is stated that the Corporation itself constructed compound wall, after the road affected area was taken over by them. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are insisting on her to leave an area of five more feet and are attempting to demolish the compound wall. It is stated that no notice was issued much less no proposals of acquisition of land were mooted. The petitioner further complains that all along the road, no premises were either demolished nor any acquisition has been undertaken. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing counsel for the respondents. The Corporation has already taken substantial portion of the land of the petitioner free of cost for widening the road while according permission to her in the year 1975. If any further area is needed for widening of the road, they are under obligation to initiate proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act or the Municipal Corporation Act for acquisition of the same. There cannot be any justification to require the petitioner to demolish the wall or to surrender any further land without compensation. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall not demolish the compound wall existing in front of the building of the petitioner and they shall not utilize any portion of the land held by him, unless it is acquired in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 06.11.2009 Note: Issue C.C. in one week. (B/o) JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.23915 of 2009 Date: 06.11.2009 JSU
