G. Jhansi This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27679 of 2011 ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside order bearing Rc.G.3-123425/2011, dated 24.09.2011 of respondent No.1. The main ground on which the petitioner questions the abovementioned order is that despite his filing objections on 26.07.2011, respondent No.1 has not considered the same and directed pulling down of the building within three days. At the hearing, Smt. G. Jhansi, learned Standing counsel, while stating that the petitioner has obviously not submitted his objections within time, however, submitted that without adjudicating on this issue, the impugned order may be set aside on the short ground of non- consideration of the objections with liberty to respondent No.1 to pass a fresh order, after considering the petitioner’s objections. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside. The petitioner is given a week’s time for filing a fresh set of objections. On the expiry of the said time, respondent No.1 shall consider the objections, if any filed by the petitioner and pass a speaking order. It is made clear that if the petitioner seeks an opportunity of personal hearing, he should make a specific request in that regard in his objections that may be filed by him in which case respondent No.1 shall give an opportunity of personal hearing to him before passing the order. The Writ Petition is allowed to the extent indicated above. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition in the manner indicated above, WPMP.No.34150 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 21.10.2011 ES
