HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.8592 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was issued notices under Sections 452 and 465 of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act (for short ‘the Act’), taking objection for construction of two sheds in the stilt floor of the building. The petitioner was accorded permission to construct stilt and five upper floors. It is alleged that the three sheds were permitted to be constructed in the stilt floor. The petitioner states that with a view to provide maximum parking area, he constructed a cellar and constructed two more shops in the stilt. The Government framed the scheme for regularization of unauthorized constructions by issuing G.O.Ms.No.901, dated 31.12.2007. The petitioner submitted an application for regularization of the 2 sheds. It is stated that though the application was rejected on 13.08.2010, the copy of the order was served upon the petitioner on 26.03.2011. The grievance of the petitioner is that by serving the order dated 13.08.2010, the respondents are now trying to proceed to demolish the premises. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel for the Municipal Corporation. The scheme framed by the Government in the G.O., referred to above, not only provides for regularization of unauthorized structures, but also the remedy of appeal, in case of rejection. An appellate authority is said to have been constituted. The petitioner can avail that remedy. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to prefer an appeal against the order dated 13.08.2010 within a period of four weeks from today. The respondents shall not proceed against the structures in question, till the appeal is disposed of. It is made clear that, in case the petitioner fails to prefer the appeal within four weeks from today, it shall be open to the respondents to take further steps. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:01.04.2011 Note: Furnish C.C. in three days. (B/o) GJ
