ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 18661 OF 2010 ORDER : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in issuing the notice dated 28.07.2010 under Section 636 of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 (for short, ‘the Act’) directing the petitioner to remove the constructions allegedly made in the designated parking area within 24 hours is arbitrary and illegal. It is primarily contended by the petitioner that the impugned action of the respondents without issuing any prior notice as contemplated under Section 452 of the Act is arbitrary and illegal apart from being in violation of principles of natural justice. Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 1st respondent- Corporation could not dispute the fact that no notice under Section 452 of the Act was issued to the petitioner before passing the impugned notice. In the circumstances, on that ground alone the impugned notice is liable to be set aside. Accordingly, the impugned notice is hereby set aside and the Writ Petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the respondents to take appropriate action following due process of law. No costs. ____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 03.08.2010 Ivd
