Thereafter, he submitted an application to the third respondent for allotment of house number. Since his application remained unattended, he approached this Court invoking jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India with a prayer as stated supra. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation appearing for the respondents and perused the material placed on record. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner submitted representations to the authorities concerned to assign house number to the constructions made by him in Plot No.12, admeasuring 207.80 sq. yards and since his representations remained unattended, he approached this Court invoking the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. I have gone through the writ aﬃdavit. It is nowhere stated that the petitioner obtained permission from the respondent-Corporation to put up constructions in an area admeasuring 207.80 sq. yards. Unless the constructions made by the petitioner are regularized, question of allotting house number does not arise. The petitioner is at liberty to approach the authorities after regularization of the constructions made by him in accordance with the provisions of law. With the above observation, the Writ petition is dismissed at the admission stage. _________________________ (B. Seshasayana Reddy, J.) 19th September, 2008 Js.
