THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.9003 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the Secretary of an association of residents of a multi-storeyed complex, named as NCL Kaveri Phase-I, Shantinagar, Vijayanagar Colony, Hyderabad. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent Nos.5 and 6, who are the owners of flat Nos.101 and 102, have leased their premises to respondent No.7 and a commercial establishment was brought into existence. The petitioner states that though number of representations were made to respondent Nos.1 to 3, no steps were taken to prevent such unlawful activity. Respondent Nos.5 and 6 and respondent No.7 have filed separate counter-affidavits. It is stated that a shopping complex was established in such a way not to cause any inconvenience to the other flat owners. According to them, no illegality has been resorted to and that permissions from the authorities concerned were obtained. Objection is also raised as to the maintainability of the writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. A serious doubt exists as to whether the petitioner could have maintained the writ petition at all. He filed it in his individual capacity. The society or the association is not the petitioner. This is not a case where any parking area is converted into a shopping complex. It appears that flat Nos.101 and 102 facing road and they have direct access to it. Respondent No.7 established a supermarket in the said flats after obtaining permission from the authorities concerned. If the petitioner feels that any civil rights of himself or an agency, which he represents, are affected, he has to file a suit by establishing the same by adducing evidence. There are no merits in the writ petition. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:17.03.2011 kdl
