The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Writ Petition No.6930 of 2005 Order: In this Writ Petition, the petitioner seeks declaration, by way of Mandamus, that the action of the respondents- Corporation in trying to dispossess him from the bunk situated on the P.G.Road (Sub lane), Secunderabad, where he is carrying on business by installing Public Telephone System, without issuing prior notice, is illegal and arbitrary. In the affidavit, filed in support of the Writ Petition, it is stated that the petitioner is physically handicapped and as such, by taking due permission from the competent authorities, he has erected a wooden bunk and installed telephone booth in January, 1995. It is his grievance that the respondents are trying to remove the same without issuing any prior notice and opportunity. While admitting this Writ Petition on 30th March, 2005, this Court granted interim order in favour of the petitioner directing the respondents not to interfere with the possession of the petitioner’s STD booth and not to demolish the same without following the due process of law and the said order continued all along during the pendency of the Writ Petition. Though this Writ Petition is of 2005, no counter-affidavit has, so far, been filed by the respondents. In view of the allegation made by the petitioner that he was not given prior notice, which is not controverted by the respondents by filing counter-affidavit, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the respondents not to remove or dismantle the petitioner’s bunk, where he is running STD booth. However, it is made clear that if the said bunk is causing any obstruction to the free flow of traffic, this order will not prevent the respondents from taking steps for removal of the same by following due process of law. Subject to the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J Dated 5th December, 2009 lur
