THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No. 25459 of 2010 DATE: 15-03-2011 Between: S. Ravinder Reddy …….. Petitioner and Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority and another …….. Respondents THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No. 25459 of 2010 ORDER: The 2nd respondent was leased an extent of 200 square yards of vacant site in K.B.R. Walkway Garden, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. The 2nd respondent in turn is said to have subleased the same to the petitioner. The petitioner came to know that the 1st respondent had initiated steps for cancellation of the lease in favour of the 2nd respondent, on the ground that there was violation of conditions of lease, viz., that the property has been subleased. This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the delay on the part of the 1st respondent in cancellation of the lease deed, dated 16-06-2008, as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional. Consequential reliefs are also claimed. Heard Sri P. Nagendra Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing counsel for the 1st respondent and Sri B. Vijayasen Reddy, learned counsel for the 2nd respondent. This Court is of the view that the petitioner has no locus standi to file the writ petition at all. The lease in question is a matter between the 1st and 2nd respondents. If there is any breach of conditions of lease, it is for the respective parties to take steps in accordance with law. The curious part of the matter is that the so called violation, if at all, was sublease of the premises in favour of the petitioner. That very violation is pressed into service by the petitioner seeking cancellation of the lease. There are absolutely no merits in the writ petition. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Date:15.03.2011 YCR
