THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.21009 of 2010 DATED: 24.08.2010 Between:- Y. Dasaradha Rami Reddy .. Petitioner and Municipal Corporation of Nellore, Rep. by its Commissioner, Nellore, SPSR Nellore District. .. Respondent ORDER: It is the grievance of the petitioner that the respondent Corporation, without issuing any notice and without following due process of law, made some markings on the building bearing H.No.27/I/1115 situated at Ramjee Nagar (Balaji Nagar), Nellore, which belongs to his daughter, and is taking steps to demolish the building to the extent of the marked portion, for the alleged purpose of road widening. Hence, he filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions to the respondent. At the hearing, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent Corporation, on instructions, submits that, for the purpose of road widening, the officials of the respondent Corporation have taken up survey work and so far no action is initiated for demolition of the subject building. He further submits that, if the subject building or any part thereof is required to be demolished in the process of road widening, the Corporation will issue notice to its owner and will follow due process of law. In view of the above submission of the learned Standing Counsel and in the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: “If the subject building or any part thereof is required to be demolished for any public purpose, the respondent shall issue notice to its owner and follow due process under law.” The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 24th August, 2010 Note:- Communicate operative portion of the order by wire, at party’s costs. B/o IBL
