Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.B.SUDHAKAR REDDY & NEERAJA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: The Court made the following : ORDER This writ petition has been ﬁled by Dr.B.Prabhakar Reddy assailing the action of the Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad-1st respondent, the Chief Town Planning Oﬃcer-2nd respondent and the Assistant City Planner-3rd respondent in not disposing of his representations dated 24.09.2007 and 5.10.2007. The petitioner is one of the owners of the ﬂats in Radehkishan Pleasant Homes. His grievance is that the builder of the apartment made some unauthorized constructions in the cellar area and therefore, they are required to be removed. He submitted representations dated 24.09.2007 and 5.10.2007 for demolition of illegal constructions in the cellar area of Radehkishan Pleasant Homes. There being no action on his representations, he approached this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. When the writ petition came up for admission, Smt Kalpana Ekbote, learned standing counsel for Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad, appearing for R1 to R3, submits that the obstructions in the cellar portion have been removed. Whereas it is contended by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that obstructions were removed only to some extent. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondent Nos.1 to 3 to consider the representations dated 24.09.2007 and 5.10.2007 and to pass appropriate orders within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _________ 04-08-2008 rkk
