THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO Writ Petition No.12608 of 2002 ORDER: Petitioners, who were residents of Kompally Village of Qutbullapur Mandal in Ranga Reddy District, own houses in village. They filed instant writ petition seeking Writ of Mandamus declaring action of respondents, namely, Superintending Engineer (R & B) and Project Director (National Highways Authority of India) in trying to demolish houses for the purpose of widening road from existing 200 ft to 250 ft as illegal, arbitrary and for consequential directions. This Court, admitting writ petition, passed interim orders on 15.07.2002, directing respondents, not to demolish houses. Subsequently, by an order dated 25.11.2002, interim order was made obsolete. When the matter is called today, learned Government Pleader for Transport, Road and Buildings submits that with effect from 05.11.2001, Superintending Engineer is relieved of duties to maintain National Highway No.7. Learned standing counsel for National Highways Authority of India contends while pleading, that petitioners are encroachers and submits that road widening is completed and there is no proposal at present to further widen road, or to demolish houses. The same is recorded. If National Highways Authority of India proposes to further widen road, they shall do so, in accordance with provisions of National Highways Authority of India Act, 1956. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) August 07, 2009 Bvv
