THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 28881 of 2011 ORDER: The present Writ Petition is filed seeking a mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondent in considering the representation dated 06.04.2011 submitted by the petitioner for conducting enquiry with regard to the validity of title and construction permission in respect of the shops proposed to be demolished in the road widening leading from Budhwarpet Petrol Bunk to N.T.R. Circle, as arbitrary and illegal. According to the petitioner, on either side of the road leading from Budhawarpet Petrol Bunk to N.T.R. Circle, Kurnool City, there are commercial shops constructed by encroaching the public road. The petitioner came to know that the respondent authorities are proposing to widen the said road by undertaking demolition of the structures. In this connection, they prepared cheques for the value of the land as well as the structures without even verifying the title deeds and the construction permissions. Therefore, he submitted a representation on 06.04.2011 to the respondent to conduct a detailed enquiry with regard to the genuineness of the title deeds and construction permissions. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that his representation was unattended to so far. It is not in dispute that the Commissioner of Municipal Corporation has no authority to decide the title disputes between the parties. If the petitioner has any grievance or objection as to the validity of the title in respect of the land or structures in question, his remedy lies elsewhere. As the respondent Municipal Corporation is not a competent authority to decide the title disputes, the question of issuing a mandamus to it to consider the representation of the petitioner, does not arise. The Writ Petition is therefore, devoid of merits and it is accordingly, dismissed at the admission stage itself. No costs. --------------------- (K.C. BHANU, J) 28th October 2011 ksld
