THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20641 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner, which is a registered Sangam, is seeking a direction by way of mandamus to the respondents not to disturb the possession of its members at Mahaboob Mansion, Malakpet, Hyderabad, without giving notice and without following due procedure. It is the case of the petitioner that all its members are the licensed hamalies working at Mahaboob Mansion Agriculture Market at Malakpet. It is stated that from the last several years, it has been making representations to give suitable accommodation to the hamalies for dwelling purpose but, no steps have been taken by the respondents. It is further stated that its members have erected huts around Mahaboob Mansion and have been living in the said huts from the last several years. It is the grievance of the petitioner that without giving any notice, opportunity and alternative accommodation to its members, the respondents are taking steps to dispossess them. On written instructions, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents that there is a building known as Mahaboob Mansion at Malakpet situated in Survey Nos.110/P, 127, 241/P, T.S.No.1/1, Block-D, Ward No.182 of Malakpet Revenue Village, Amberpet Mandal. It is further submitted that it is a building of more than 150 years old and was declared as heritage building by Heritage Preservation Committee constituted by Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority. It is further submitted that touching the walls of heritage building, there were about 250 illegal encroachments by erecting huts and semi pucca structures. It is further submitted that as it is a very old building, there is a possibility of its collapse at any moment. In view of the same, the respondents have requested the public to vacate the said land and conducted meetings several times and at last, they have agreed to vacate and move from the said place voluntarily on or before 26.07.2010. They have also given written undertaking before the Tahsildar, Amberpet, on 16.07.2010 after taking I.D. Cards of eligibility of possession certificates from the Tahsildar, Amberpet, based on Socio Economic Survey. It is also submitted that such of those persons, who are possessing I.D. Cards of eligibility of possession certificates, are being accommodated under the housing scheme after construction in the land covered by Survey Nos.43 and 44 at Bandlaguda for about 140 members and in the surplus land at Malakpet for about 110 members. All the members of the petitioner sangam have agreed and also vacated the premises. Consequently, thereafter, by removing the huts and some permanent structures, vacant site was already handed over to the Marketing Department by conducting panchanama on 18.08.2010. Although it is the case of the petitioner that its members are in possession, in view of the undertaking given by its members to the Tahsildar, Amberpet, it is clear that they have vacated the place in question and that vacant possession of the same is also handed over to the Marketing Department. Further, in view of the steps being taken by the respondents to accommodate the displaced persons, no directions can be issued as prayed for. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition is devoid of merit and accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 20th AUGUST, 2010. kvni
