THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 26609 of 2010 O R D E R: In this Writ Petition, the only grievance of the petitioner is about non-disposal of the appeal preferred by him, in terms of A.P. Regulation and Penalization of Unauthorizedly Constructed Buildings and Building Constructed in Deviation of the Sanctioned Plan Rules, 2007 framed in exercise of powers under Section 455-AA of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act. It is stated that the neighbours of the petitioner who are Respondents 4 to 6 have made illegal constructions and applied for its regularization. It is further submitted that though the constructions made by Respondents 4 to 6 do not fit into the scheme notified by the respondents, the constructions were regularized by proceedings dated 29.07.2009. Aggrieved by the same, it is stated that the petitioner has filed an appeal before the Committee headed by the 1st respondent in the month of January 2010 and the said appeal is not being considered only on the ground that the Appellate Committee has not received the report from the 3rd respondent. I have perused the Rules referred to supra. The competent authority notified under the Rules is empowered to approve the applications for penalization in the prescribed form under Rule 6 of the Rules. Further, as per Rule 11, if any applicant is aggrieved by an order passed by the competent authority under Rule 6, he/she is given a provision for filing an appeal before the Committee constituted by the Government. As per Rule 11(2), the appeal filed under Rule 11(1) has to be disposed of within a period of three months. Inasmuch as it is stated that the petitioner preferred an appeal in the month of January 2010 and the same is not disposed of within the time framed as per Rule 11(2) of the Rules, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition with a direction to Respondents 1 and 2 to dispose of the appeal preferred by the writ petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is made clear that before disposal of the appeal, Respondents 1 and 2, to issue notice to the petitioner as well as Respondents 4 to 6. It is further made clear that the appeal should be considered on its own merits uninfluenced by any observations made in this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of.
