THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8253 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners were issued notice under Sections 452(2) and 636 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 (for short ‘the Act’) on 25.09.2010, requiring them to remove the structures indicated therein. It was alleged that an area, which was earmarked for parking, was converted into shops, or residential flats, and that the same is contrary to the sanctioned plan. The petitioners submit that soon after receiving the notice, they filed an application for regularization in terms of G.O.Ms.No.901, dated 31.12.2007. Their grievance is that, even while the application for regularization is pending, the respondent is trying to demolish the structure. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation. The petitioners do not dispute that the structure owned by them was brought into existence in contravention of the sanctioned plan. However, to seek regularization thereof, they filed an application in terms of G.O.Ms.No.901. The Government itself has come forward with a scheme for regularization of unauthorized structures. The question as to whether the petitioners are entitled for the benefit under the G.O., needs to be considered by the respondent. The G.O. directs that whenever an application is filed under it, no punitive action can be taken against the applicant. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the Corporation shall not demolish or otherwise interfere with the structure in question, till the application submitted by the petitioners for regularization is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 29.03.2011. Note: Issue cc in three days. (B/o) kdl
