THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 1762 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner purchased plot No.15, admeasuring 444.44 square yards, in Survey No.74/9 of Marredpally, through a sale deed, dated 27.09.1996. On 01.07.2008, he filed an application before the Tahsildar, Marredpally Mandal, respondent herein, with a request to accord permission to construct a compound wall for the plot. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent has not taken any steps on the application. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Admittedly, the land is within the limits of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. The Mandal Revenue Officer is not conferred with the power to accord permission to construct compound wall even if the land is situated in the rural area. The petitioner has to approach the concerned authority under the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act for necessary permission. When the application filed by the petitioner is to an authority not vested with the power, the question of directing him to consider the same does not arise. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to approach the proper authority for permission to construct compound wall. As and when such application is made, the authority shall deal with the same on its own merits. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 04.02.2009 Note: Issue C.C. in one week.
