H.No.16-2-740/5, Kalyan Nagar Colony, Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad & Ors. … Petitioners Versus The Nalgonda Municipality, Nalgonda, Represented by its Commissioner & Ors. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri C.V.Mohan Reddy Counsel for the Respondents: GP for MPL Administration & Urban Development O R D E R : The case of the petitioners is that they are the owners of the building bearing no.6-1-6, Ramgiri road, Nalgonda. It is stated that a portion of the said building was sought to be demolished without following due process of law. Therefore, the petitioners were constrained to file the present writ petition to declare the action of the respondents in seeking to demolish their building bearing No.6-1-6, situate at Ramgiri Road, Nalgonda, without issuing any notice or without following due process of law as arbitrary and illegal. While issuing notice before admission, this court made the following order: “There shall be interim direction to the respondents not to demolish the building bearing house no.6-1-6, Ramgiri Road, Nalgonda, in which the Nalgonda branch of State Bank of India, is housed, without issuing prior notice and also without following the due procedure prescribed by law, pending further orders”. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I consider it appropriate that the interim order dated 25-7-1997 is made as final order in the main writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the respondents not to demolish the building bearing house no.6-1-6, Ramgiri Road, Nalgonda, in which the Nalgonda branch of State Bank of India, is housed, without issuing prior notice and also without following the due procedure prescribed by law. With the above direction, the writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. APRIL 04th, 2006. ----------------------- - I s L. V. ESWARAIAH, J.
