THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.13050 of 2008 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed with the relief, which reads as under: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, the above named petitioner prays in the interest of justice that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue a Writ or order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the 2nd Respondent in rejecting the Petitioner's application dated 14-11-2006 for grant of permission for construction of rural/agricultural godowns in the land an extent of Ac. 22-00 covered by Sy.No. 149, 150, 151, 153, 157 (part) and 162 (part) of Ganguru Village, Penamaluru Mandal, Krishna District, vide his proceedings No. RC/C-8/2122/2006, dated 22-02- 2007 as illegal, arbitrary, discrimination, violation of principles of natural justice and contrary to the provisions of Sec. 14(5) of the A.P. Urban Areas Development Act, 1975 (Act 1 of 1975) and the Rules made therein and contrary to G.O.Ms.No. 423 M.A. & U.D. (M1) Department dated 31-07-1998 and consequently direct the Respondents to permit the Petitioner to construct rural/agricultural godowns as per the application dated 14-11-2006.” Petitioner is the owner of land admeasuring Acs.22.00 covered by R.S.Nos.149, 150, 151, 157 (part) and 162 (part) of Ganguru Village, Penamaluru Mandal, Krishna District. She has applied for grant of permission to construct agricultural godowns. By endorsement, dated 22.02.2007, the respondents rejected the request of the petitioner for grant of permission to construct agricultural Godowns, on the ground that the land in question is useful for residential purpose as per the approved Zonal Development Plan in G.O.Ms.No.675, Municipal Administration, dated 29.12.2006. It is the case of the petitioner that permission for similar purpose in and around her site was already granted and she is deprived of the permission illegally. Except stating that some third parties were granted permission for similar purpose, no particulars are given. When the matter is taken up, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for Vijayawada, Guntur, Tenali and Mangalagiri Urban Development Authority, Vijayawada, has produced before this Court the original Zonal Development Plan of Kanuru Village, approved in G.O.Ms.No.675, Municipal Administration, dated 29.12.2006. It is evident from the said plan that the land in question falls within the residential area, where construction of agricultural godowns is not permissible as per the zonal regulations framed under the Andhra Pradesh Urban Areas Development Act, 1975. In view of the reasoning assigned in the impugned endorsement and as the said stand is reiterated by the Government in the counter- affidavit stating that as per the Zonal Development Plan, the petitioner’s site is falling in the residential area, where construction of agricultural godowns is not permissible, I do not find any merit in the Writ Petition for grant of relief as prayed for. However, it is brought to the notice of this Court that the petitioner has already filed application before the Government seeking conversion of land use and the same is pending. If any such application is pending as on today, the first respondent shall dispose of the same as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 23rd AUGUST, 2011. kvni
