Counsel for the Petitioners :MR.S.ASHOK ANAND KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent: R.RADHA KRISHNA REDDY(SC FOR GHMC,SNCZONE) The Court made the following : ORDER: Questioning the notices, dated 27.11.2008 directing the petitioners to remove the sheds over the property in question within a period of 24 hours from the date of receipt of notices, the petitioners approached this Court and filed the present Writ Petition. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. From a perusal of the record, it appears that the impugned notices were issued pursuant to some directions issued by this Court in W.P.No.24751 of 2008. However, as it is suggested by both the learned counsel that the petitioners can approach the respondent- authority and submit their explanation, this Court is of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of at the stage of admission. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of, directing the petitioners to submit their explanation to the impugned notices, dated 27.11.2008 within a period of two weeks from today, and thereafter, the authority may pass appropriate orders. Till such an exercise is completed, the petitioners shall not be dispossessed from the property in question. No costs. Learned counsel for the petitioners tried to contend before this Court that the respondent has no jurisdiction whatsoever to issue such notices and that the order passed in W.P.No.24751 of 2008 has nothing to do with the possession of the petitioners. However, as this Court has directed the petitioners to submit their explanation, all these aspects can be stated in the said explanation and the respondent may consider the same. ________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J Dated:17.12.2008 GJ
