RAMANA Writ Petition No.8064 of 2009 Order: The main grievance of the petitioner-Association in this writ petition is that though it made representations, dated 04.04.2008 and 18.08.2008, to the Commissioner, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad, the first respondent herein, seeking permission to erect gates around its colony, the same has not been considered so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing for respondents. Admittedly, the representations made by the petitioner- Association on 04.04.2008 and 18.08.2008 are pending consideration before the first respondent. Hence, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following direction: The first respondent is directed to consider the representations, dated 04.04.2008 and 18.08.2008, made by the petitioner-Association and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, expeditiously. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 20.04.2009 VGB
