The petitioner claims to be the owner and possessor of the premises bearing No.13-2-52, admeasuring 217 square yards at Anna Srinivasa Rao Kalyanamandapam road, Guntur Minicipal Limits, Guntur District. It is the contention of the petitioner that the respondent-Corporation has asked consent for acquisition of a portion of the premises bearing No.13-2-52 for the purpose of road widening and that she did not give consent as sought for by the respondent and therefore, the respondent is trying to demolish the constructions made by her without following the due process of law. When the writ petition came up for admission, Sri B.Venkata Ratnam, learned standing counsel of Guntur Municipal Corporation received notice on behalf of the respondent. Learned standing counsel, on instructions, reports that the respondent will follow due process of law in the event the constructions made by the petitioner are required to be demolished for road widening. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to follow due process of law in the event the constructions made by the petitioner are required to be demolished for road widening. No costs. _________ 03-11-2008 Note: Issue CC by two days. (B.O) rkk
