THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5188 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners were assigned house sites by the Tahsildar, Dharmavaram. They submitted an application for sanction of building permission to Dharmavaram Municipality, respondent No.1 herein. Permission was accorded in September, 2010. Respondent No.1 issued notice, dated 23.09.2010, alleging that the petitioners obtained permission by misrepresenting the facts. It was alleged that the pattas issued in favour of the petitioners for the house sites were cancelled by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Dharmavaram, respondent No.4 herein. The petitioners state that after receiving the individual show cause notices, they submitted explanation on 04.10.2010 stating that though respondent No.4 cancelled the pattas through proceedings, dated 28.02.2004, this Court quashed the said proceedings in a writ petition. Respondent No.1, however, made an endorsement, dated 16.11.2010, cancelling the building permission on the ground that the petitioners did not submit explanation. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. It is a matter of record that the petitioners were accorded permission to construct houses on the plots assigned to them. The only ground mentioned by respondent No.1 in the show cause notice is that the pattas granted in favour of the petitioners were cancelled. The petitioners assert that they submitted explanation drawing the attention of respondent No.1 to the orders passed by this Court in a writ petition. The impugned endorsement, however, proceeds as though the petitioners did not submit explanation at all. Respondent No.1 ought to have verified the record correctly before taking the drastic step. Therefore, the writ petition is allowed and the impugned endorsement is set aside. It is directed that respondent No.1 shall take into account, the explanation submitted by the petitioners and pass fresh orders. If he still entertains any doubt, he shall also give an opportunity to the petitioners to explain. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:07.03.2011. kdl
