Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent-Corporation. When the matter is taken up for consideration, it is brought to my notice that in identical circumstances W.P.No.25318 of 2009 was disposed of by this Court by order dated 20.11.2009 with directions as under: “Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that, it shall be open to the petitioners to submit an application under Section 455-A of the Act, for regularization of the deviations, if any. In case the application is filed within four weeks from today, the respondent shall not take any steps, against the structures, till it is disposed of. On the other hand, if the application is not filed, it shall be open to the respondent to proceed against the petitioners, in accordance with law.” It is not disputed before this Court that the petitioners herein are also similarly situated. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioners to submit an explanation under Section 455-A of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 for regularization of the deviations, if any. In case any such application is made within four weeks from today, the respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.
