IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WENESDAY, THE FOURTEENTH DAY OF OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.17387 of 2009 Between: Dr.Chandoori Vishwanadham ..... PETITIONER AND The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, rep.by its Commissioner, Hyderabad. .....RESPONDENT ORDER: The main grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that without issuing any show cause notice under Section 452 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 (for short ‘the Act’), the respondent-Corporation has issued impugned final order, dated 12.08.2009, under Section 636 of the Act directing him to remove the premises in question. On 20.08.2009, while issuing Rule nisi, this Court directed the parties to maintain status quo and also directed the learned Standing Counsel to get instructions in the matter. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration, the learned Standing Counsel has conceded that the respondent-Corporation has not issued any show cause notice under Section 452 of the Act before issuing the impugned final notice. In view of the submission made by the learned Standing Counsel that no prior notice under Section 452 of the Act was issued before issuing the impugned final notice, the same is set aside on that ground alone. However, the respondent-Corporation is at liberty to proceed with the matter duly following the procedure prescribed under law. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:14.10.2009 VGB
