THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2254 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner states that there exists a harijan colony in Veeranagutta, Kachiguda Station Road, Hyderabad. It is further stated that on a representation made by it and the local Corporator, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, respondent No.1 herein, sanctioned funds for laying cement concrete road in the colony. The grievance of the petitioner is that when the road was about to be laid, respondent No.2 objected and respondent No.1 is not taking any steps to proceed with the work. Respondent No.1 filed a counter-affidavit. The averment of the petitioner that funds were sanctioned for laying the road is admitted. It is, however, stated that respondent No.2 filed O.S.No.1371 of 2004 in the Court of the X Junior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad and obtained order of status quo in I.A.No.468 of 2004 on 15.03.2004. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1 and the learned counsel for respondent No.2. It may be true that respondent No.1 initiated steps for laying road and the earthen work is said to have been completed. Exactly at that stage, respondent No.2 filed a suit and obtained an order of status quo. As long as that order operates, there is nothing that respondent No.1 can do about. In case the petitioner is not already impleaded in the suit, it can get itself impleaded and pursue the remedies. If the suit is not pending now, the petitioner can approach respondent No.1 for necessary steps. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that: (a) if O.S.No.1321 of 2004 is still pending and the petitioner is not a party to it, it shall be open to it to get itself impleaded as one of the defendants and pursue the remedies; and (b) if the suit is not pending and no orders adverse to the interest of the petitioner are passed therein, it shall be open to the petitioner to approach respondent No.1 for necessary action, duly stating the relevant facts. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 10.02.2011. kdl
