THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5338 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is an Ex-Councillor of Korutla Municipality, respondent No.1 herein. He made a representation, dated 24.07.2010, to respondent No.1 alleging that respondent No.2 had grabbed an extent of 1200 square yards of land owned by Sri Venkateshwara Swamy Temple, Korutla Town in Survey No.1399/1 and the said premises were assigned No.1-3- 118/6 without verification of records. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Respondent No.2 filed a counter-affidavit denying the allegations. It is stated that the land was purchased by him through a sale deed of the year 2003 and that he has just constructed a compound wall to protect the land. It is stated that his application seeking permission to construct is pending with respondent No.1. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1 and the learned counsel for respondent No.2. The petitioner does not claim any right or interest over the land. His effort appears to be to protect the land belonging to a Temple. The assignment of any number to any premises within the Municipality is only for the purpose of collecting property tax. Beyond that, it does not confer any right or title in favour of any individual. Respondent No.2 is said to have submitted application seeking permission. He cannot make any construction unless permission is granted. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that respondent No.1 shall take into account the representation, dated 24.07.2010, made by the petitioner while examining the application submitted by respondent No.2 for permission to construct. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.07.04.2011. kdl
