THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25663 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner is a resident of Kaladera, Malakpet, Hyderabad. He made several complaints to respondent Nos.1 and 2 alleging that respondent No.3 is making construction in premises bearing No.16-8-210, Kaladera, Malakpet, without obtaining permission, and contrary to the building bye-laws, etc. His grievance is that respondent Nos.1 and 2 have not taken any steps to prevent the unauthorized construction. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Standing Counsel for respondent Nos.1 and 2 and the learned counsel for respondent No.3. The writ petition was presented way back in the year 2007. No interim directions were issued. It is not known as to whether the construction, which the petitioner complained of, has been completed or not. Be that as it may, respondent Nos.1 and 2 cannot permit any unauthorized construction. If the construction is not supported or backed by any sanctioned plan, notices under the relevant provisions of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 (for short ‘the Act’) have to be issued. It must also be verified as to whether respondent No.3 has availed the benefit of the Building Penalization Scheme for regularization of the unauthorized construction. Even now, such an exercise can be undertaken. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.2 to verify whether respondent No.3 has made any unauthorized construction and if so, whether it was regularized by any authority. If it is found that any unauthorized construction was made and not regularized, respondent No.2 shall initiate steps under the relevant provisions of the Act, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 03.02.2011. kdl
