Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.K.JAMALI Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 to 3: R.RAMACHANDRA REDDY,SC FOR MCH The Court made the following ORDER: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.2250 of 2009 Order: The main grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that though he got issued a legal notice on respondents 1 to 3 on 05.02.2009 to stop and remove the illegal constructions made by the fourth respondent in respect of house bearing H.No.4-1-1236/4, King Koti Road, Abids, Hyderabad, they have not taken any action so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for GHMC appearing for respondents 1 to 3, and at their request, the writ petition is taken up for disposal, at the admission stage. The petitioner is stated to have got issued a legal notice on respondents 1 to 3 very recently i.e., on 05.02.2009. Without even giving time for respondents 1 to 3 to consider the said legal notice, the petitioner has approached this Court and filed the present writ petition on 09.02.2009. It is too premature to say at this stage that respondents 1 to 3 would not consider the legal notice of the petitioner. However, respondents 1 to 3 are directed to consider the legal notice of the petitioner, dated 05.02.2009, and take action in accordance with law, after giving notice to the fourth respondent, expeditiously, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 10.02.2009 VGB
