Petitioner AND The Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad, Rep. by its Commissioner, Hyderabad & another .. Respondents ORDER: The Writ Petition is filed praying for a writ, order or direction more particularly in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in issuing the impugned Notice No.UC/1422/TP/MCH/SD/2004 dated 20-07-2006 of the 1st respondent as arbitrary, illegal, violative of Articles 14, 21 and 300-A of the Constitution of India and set aside the same. Several factual details are narrated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition. Notice is issued under Section 452 read with Section 636 of Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955. The main grievance of the petitioners is that without giving any show cause notice or without giving any opportunity to file objections, straightaway issuing such notice is bad in law. In view of the same, without recording the other factual details, this Court directs the respondents to treat the impugned notice as show cause notice, give opportunity to the petitioners to file their appropriate objections within a period of two weeks and the respondents to consider such objections and pass appropriate orders in relation thereto, till then not to proceed further in relation to the demolition activity. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ P.S. NARAYANA, J Date:24-07-2006. PV
