THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.18662 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is the owner of the house bearing No.12-8-424/1 admeasuring 1014 sq. yds. situated at Mettuguda, Secunderabad. Out of the said extent, the petitioner had admittedly surrendered 922.22 sq. yards for the purpose of road widening and thus, as of today, the petitioner is in possession of only 91.73 sq. yards. Alleging that the respondents have been acting highhandedly for demolition of the structures situated on the said 91.73 sq. yards, the present writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents is arbitrary and illegal. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, while denying the allegations in the writ petition, it is alleged that the petitioner himself had encroached into the portion which was surrendered for road widening and thus causing inconvenience to the vehicular traffic. Thus it is pleaded that the officials of the respondent Corporation had only taken steps to prevent the petitioner from encroaching into the road margin. I have heard the learned counsel for both the parties. As can be seen from the pleadings, the title and possession of the petitioner in respect of 91.73 sq. yards of land in premises bearing No.12-8-424/1 which remained with the petitioner after surrendering 922.22 sq. yards is not in dispute. Hence, the respondents shall not interfere with the possession of the petitioner in respect of the said 91.73 sq. yards in any manner whatsoever without following due process of law. Since the respondents in their counter-affidavit denied the alleged demolition and stated that they are not taking any steps for demolition of the structures standing on the said 91.73 sq. yards, no further enquiry is necessary. Accordingly, recording the statement of the respondents in the counter-affidavit that they are not taking any steps for demolition of the structures in the premises in question to the extent of 91.73 sq. yards, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ (G. ROHINI, J) 26th July, 2011 GHN
