THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.14420 of 2008 ORDER: The Jaggaiahpet Municipality has taken up the construction of shops upon its land by receiving deposits from the intending tenants. The petitioner was one such tenant and after completion of the construction, he was allotted shop No.12. The rent was fixed at Rs.300 per month. His grievance is that vide proceedings dated 07.03.2008, the rent was enhanced to Rs.700/- per month. He contends that when the shop itself is constructed with his own funds, the enhancement of rent by more than 100% is unwarranted. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. The petitioner has no doubt placed a copy of the minutes of the municipality, dated 25.02.2004 in which it was decided that the rent for the shops proposed to be constructed shall be at the rate of Rs.300/- per month. However, the circumstances, under which the rent was enhanced, are not immediately before this Court. Further, the petitioner is not the only person for whom the rent is enhanced. Even now, the petitioner can make a representation to the Municipal Council pointing out his grievance. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to submit a representation to the Municipal Council, if he still feels that the enhancement of rent for his shop is untenable. As and when such representation is made, it shall be placed before the Municipal Council in its next meeting. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 29.04.2010 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.14420 of 2008 Date: 29.04.2010 JSU
