THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.2285 OF 2008 Dated 7th February, 2008 Between: M.Mohanamma and another … Petitioners And The District Collector and another … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.2285 OF 2008 O R D E R: Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare. In this writ petition, the petitioners seek directions by way of Mandamus declaring the action of respondent No.1 in passing the order dated 31-01-2008 in proceedings Rc.No.BCW1/57/07 as illegal and arbitrary. Petitioner Nos.1 and 2 claim that they are the owners of the houses bearing No.1-25 and 1-17 situated at Nidamanoor Village & Mandal, Nalgonda District respectively. It is stated that the said houses were leased out to the Social Welfare Department for housing the Backward Class Boys Hostel. By the impugned order, the District Collector-respondent No.1 permitted shifting of the hostel from the premises of the petitioners to a new building bearing No.4-33 belonging to one Sri Rama Dhanunjaya. The grievance of the petitioners is that before passing such an order, no notice was given to them. The petitioners have not produced any concluded agreement for continuance of the lease by the Social Welfare Department for any specified period or any terms and conditions entered into by them with the Social Welfare Department. Even otherwise, if the petitioners suffered any damages by virtue of the shifting of the hostel from their premises, without notice, it is for them to take appropriate steps by resorting to common law remedies, but on the ground that before passing the impugned order, no notice was issued to them, they cannot question the validity of the order in a writ petition. Hence, leaving it open to the petitioners to avail remedies under common law, for redressal of their grievance, the writ petition is dismissed, at the stage of admission. ____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY,J Dated 7th February, 2008 Note:Issue C.C in two days (b/o) vrn
