SINGHVI, CJ September 12, 2007 ksld HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI G.S. SINGHVI AND HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No. 19270 of 2007 Between: A. Ram Mohan Raju … Petitioner And Hyderabad Urban Development Authority, Rep. by its Vice-Chairman, Hyderabad & another … Respondents :: O R D E R :: Counsel for the petitioner : Shri V.V.N. Chary September 11, 2007 Per G.S. SINGHVI, CJ The petitioner, who is engaged in construction business, prayed for restraining Hyderabad Urban Development Authority from auctioning the land demarcated as parks and public amenities. At the hearing, Shri V.V.N. Chary, learned counsel for the petitioner gave out that his client filed this petition by way of public interest litigation. According to him, the petitioner is seeking quashing of the auction because if he participates in the auction proposed to be held by Hyderabad Urban Development Authority in the lay out for Madapur, there is likelihood of the auction getting entangled in litigation and in that event he may not get refund of the earnest money deposit. In our opinion, a preemptive petition like the present one cannot be entertained for restraining a public authority from undertaking auction of the land. With the above observation, the writ petition is dismissed leaving the petitioner free to participate in the auction, if any to be held by Hyderabad Urban Development Authority and take chance of being successful bidder. While dismissing the writ petition, we make it clear that by a separate order passed today in Writ Petition No. 19277 of 2007, the Court has restrained the respondents from auctioning the land adjacent to plot Nos. 15/1 and 15/2 in the lay out plans of HUDA Techno, Madhapur. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.24771 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also dismissed. G.S. SINGHVI, CJ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J September 11, 2007 ksld
