HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.8732 of 2010 ORDER: Heard M. Narender Reddy, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, the Learned Government Pleader for Municipal Administration and Smt. Kalpana Ekbote, Learned Standing Counsel for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). At their request the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. The petitioner is the owner, and claims to be in possession of three flats in premises bearing No.8-3-678/42, Navodaya Colony, Yellareddyguda, Hyderabad pursuant to a family settlement. The gift and settlement deeds are said to have been registered in the year 2007 itself. The petitioner sought regularization of the construction in terms of G.O.Ms.No.902 dated 31.12.2007 and, by proceedings dated 5.3.2010, the deviations in construction/unauthorized constructions were regularized. The petitioner claims to be doing finishing works in these flats, and to have been orally informed by the respondents to desist therefrom on threat of demolition. Sri M. Narender Reddy, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, would submit that the respondents were not justified in interfering with the laying of floor and other electrical works more so as the petitioner has neither been put on notice nor informed of the reasons why he should stop executing these works. Smt. Kalpana Ekbote, Learned Standing Counsel for the GHMC, would submit that, in case any construction is found to have been made after the cut off date i.e., 31.12.2007 or in case the petitioner was resorting to any construction regularization of which was not sought for earlier, necessary action would be taken against him in accordance with the provisions of the GHMC Act, the Rules, Regulations and Byelaws made thereunder. I consider it appropriate, in these circumstances, to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the respondents, in case they are satisfied that the petitioner has violated the provisions of the GHMC Act, the Rules, Regulations and Building byelaws made thereunder, to take action for demolition of the unauthorized/illegal construction, if any, only after a notice is issued to him under the relevant provisions, and after giving him an opportunity of being heard. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No costs. _____________ 30-4-2010 Note: Issue C.C. in one week. B/o asp
