THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28590 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the owners of different buildings, situated at Bose Road, Tenali Town within the limits of Tenali Municipality, the first respondent herein. Their grievance is that the respondents are taking steps to demolish parts of the buildings without issuing any notice. They contend that the buildings are in existence for the past several years and they did not resort to any deviation. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. The Andhra Pradesh Municipalities Act confers powers upon the first respondent to take steps against any buildings, which are constructed without permission or in deviation of the sanctioned plan. The notice under the relevant provisions of law is to be issued before any action is proposed. There cannot be any justification to demolish the buildings constructed by the individual without issuing any notice and following the procedure prescribed by law. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall not proceed against the buildings owned by the petitioners without following the procedure prescribed by law. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:31.12.2009 kdl
