THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI Writ Petition No. 14693 of 2010 Dated: 24.06.2010 Between: Roop Rekha Agarwar, Secunderabad and another. … Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep., by its Secretary, Hyderabad and 2 others. … Respondents HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ petition No. 14693 of 2010 O R D E R: The petitioner No.1 submitted an application to the 2nd respondent for regularization of certain constructions made on the open terrace of House No.2-2-57/16 and 17, Pan Bazar, Secunderabad. Pursuant thereto, the 3rd respondent by notice dated 25.01.2010 called upon the petitioners to pay Rs.8,83,263/- towards penalization charges and also to submit the documents specified therein. It is stated that the petitioners submitted a reply on 04.02.2010. However, without referring to the said reply, the impugned notice has been issued stating that the petitioners failed to pay the penalization charges of Rs.8,83,263/- and directing them to pay the said charges and also to furnish the particulars specified therein within seven days, failing which the BPS application would be rejected. It was further mentioned that no further correspondence should be made in that regard. It is stated by the petitioners that though the impugned notice was issued on 19.04.2010, the same was served upon the petitioners only three days ago. It is contended that the impugned notice, which was issued without taking into consideration the detailed explanation submitted by them on 04.02.2010 was arbitrary and illegal. Apprehending that the respondents may resort to demolition of the structures in question high handedly without taking into consideration the case of the petitioners, the present writ petition has been filed. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents-Corporation. Having regard to the fact that the impugned notice dated 19.04.2010, is in the nature of a show cause notice, I am of the opinion that the respondents cannot resort to demolition straight away. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of permitting the petitioners to submit their explanation to the impugned notice on or before 03.07.2010. If any explanation is submitted within the time fixed above, the respondents shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Till such time, the respondents shall not take any steps for removal/demolition of the structures in question. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ G.ROHINI,J Date: 24.06.2010 KLP
