It is the case of the petitioners that they have purchased the plot admeasuring 400 square yards, vide registered sale deed bearing document No.2057/1996, dated 14.08.1996, and after dividing the said land, they have made certain constructions, which are also regularized by the Municipal Corporation on 20.04.1998. 3. It is the grievance of the petitioners that the respondents, on the ground of extending the Nala, are taking steps for demolition of their compound wall without issuing any notice or giving any opportunity to them. 4. At the stage of admission, this Court, by an order, dated 19.07.2005, granted directions not to make any further demolitions and the said orders continued all along. Though the writ petition is of the year 2005, no counter affidavit is filed on behalf of respondents. 5. As it is alleged that the respondents have not issued any notice before demolishing the structures of the petitioners, and in the absence of any counter affidavit controverting the said allegations of the petitioners, this writ petition is disposed of, with a direction to the respondents not to demolish the compound wall or any other structures raised by the petitioners, forming part of the premises bearing Door No.1-8-505/D/22, Prakashnagar, Begumpet, Hyderabad, without following due process of law. However, it is made clear that if any constructions are made contrary to the sanctioned plan or if any encroachments are there, this order will not preclude the respondents from taking steps in accordance with the provisions of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 and the Rules made thereunder. 6. Subject to above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 10th December 2009 ajr
