Sanjeeva Reddy … Petitioner and The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, Tirupati, Chittoor District, Rep.by its Executive Officer and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.20536 of 2011 ORDER : Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Y.V.Ravi Prasad, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams (TTD) and with the consent of both the learned counsel, this writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. 2. The petitioner was granted licence to run the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams Kalyana Mandapam situated at Bodhan, Nizamabad District. An agreement dated 09.07.2009 was entered into between both the parties and the petitioner has been utilizing the Kalyana Mandapam ever since then. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though the said agreement provides for extension of lease, the 2nd respondent is calling upon him to vacate the premises. It is stated that he has made an application seeking extension of lease in terms of the agreement and without passing orders on the said application, the 2nd respondent is trying to evict him from the premises. 3. Indisputably the petitioner has been granted licence to run Kalyana Mandapam under the agreement dated 09.07.2009. The said agreement provides that the licence is valid up to 31.07.2011 and the same can be renewed for another one or two years with annual increase of 33.3% excess over the existing goodwill amount. 4. Discretion to extend the lease is given to the Executive Officer, TTD, Tirupathi. It is stated that in terms of the said condition, the petitioner has already made an application to the 1st respondent. It is, therefore, submitted that that it is incumbent on the 1st respondent to pass orders on the said application. 5. The learned Standing Counsel Sri Y.V.Ravi Prasad submits that the petitioner is not automatically entitled for extension. Although the petitioner is entitled to seek extension it is for the Executive Officer to take a decision. He, therefore, submits that an appropriate decision would be taken on the application filed by the petitioner. 6. Having regard to the aforesaid facts, I deem it appropriate to direct the 1st respondent to consider the application of the petitioner dated 11.07.2011 and pass appropriate orders having regard to the special conditions of the agreement dated 09.07.2009 as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of 4 (four) weeks from today. Until orders are passed on the said application, the petitioner shall not be evicted from the subject premises. 7. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid directions. No costs. _________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 21.07.2011. Msr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.20536 of 2011 21.07.2011 (Msr)
