Sri Srinivasa Paper Boards Mills Limited. ..Petitioner and The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. ..Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8321 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner made construction over and above what was permitted by the Municipal Corporation. The respondent Corporation issued notices under Sections 452 and 636 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 (‘the Act’ for short) proposing action against the offending portion of the building. This writ petition is filed challenging the notices issued by the respondent. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondent. The necessity for this Court to examine the legality or otherwise of the notices issued by the respondent is obviated on account of the subsequent development. The Government introduced Building Penalization Scheme (BPS) enabling the persons who have made constructions without sanctioned plan, or in deviation thereof, to seek regularization, subject to certain conditions. The scheme itself provides that where an application is made, the Corporation shall not take any steps for demolition. It is brought to the notice of this Court that the petitioner had submitted an application for regularization in the month of April, 2008 and the same is pending. In that view of the matter, the writ petition need not be kept pending. The Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the respondent shall not take any action on the construction made by the petitioner till its application for regulation is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J 09th November, 2009 GHN
