HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.710 of 2004 Dated: 30.09.2010 Between: N. Nirmala & another. …..Petitioners And Jawahar Nagar Gram Panchayat, rep. by its Executive Officer & others. …..Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.710 of 2004 ORDER : This writ petition is filed, seeking directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in taking steps for demolition of the house premises of the petitioners and compound wall covered by Survey Nos.561, 562, 314 (p) and 315(p) bearing H.Nos.2- 150/49/41 and 2-150/49/45, situated at Balajinagar of Jawahar Nagar Grampanchayat in Shamirpet Mandal of Ranga Reddy District, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioners that they are the owners of the houses bearing Nos.2-150/49/41 and 2- 150/49/45, which falls under Jawaharnagar Grampanchayat of Shamirpet Mandal. In this writ petition, it is their grievance that under the guise of road widening, without issuing any notice and without giving any opportunity, respondents are taking steps for demolition of their houses premises and compound wall. At the stage of admission, this Court, by an order, dated 9th January 2004, granted interim order staying the demolition and the said order continued all along. Although the writ petition is of the year 2004, no counter affidavit is filed and there is also no appearance on behalf of respondents. As it is the case of the petitioners that no notice is issued to them and no steps have been taken in accordance with law, for acquiring any portion of their land in accordance with the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, in the absence of any rebuttal of these allegations and also in the absence of any counter, taking into account the interim orders passed by this Court as early as on 09.01.2004, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents not to take any steps for demolition of the house premises or compound wall of the petitioners as otherwise than due process of law. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 30th September 2010. ajr
