PETITIONER AND Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Principal Secretary- MA & UD, F- 2 Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 16559 OF 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents 1 to 4 in allowing the 5th respondent to erect a Unipole Hoarding nearby the Mosque without issuing any prior notice to the petitioner, is arbitrary and illegal. Heard the learned counsel for both the parties and perused the material available on record including the counter affidavits filed on behalf of the respondents 2 and 3-Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, the respondent 4-Wakf Board and the respondent 5. As could be seen from the counter affidavits, the 5th respondent was granted no objection certificate by the Andhra Pradesh Wakf Board vide proceedings dated 13.12.2002. It is also not disputed before this Court that the Corporation had accorded necessary permission to the 5th respondent vide proceedings dated 10.01.2003. The petitioner did not challenge the aforesaid proceedings in this writ petition. It is also brought to my notice that the petitioner has filed O.S.No.86 of 2010 on the file of the State Wakf Tribunal, Hyderabad relating to the same issue to which the 5th respondent herein is also a party and the same is pending. Since it is not open to the petitioner to pursue two parallel proceedings, this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India cannot be maintained. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue the proceedings pending before the Wakf Tribunal, Hyderabad. No costs. ___________ Date: 25.08.2010 G.
