THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23519 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner submitted an application to the erstwhile Gajuwaka Municipality with a request to effect mutation as regards certain premises in his favour. Through its order, dated 18.10.2005, the Municipality mutated an extent of 2600 square yards of land in Door No.27-1-245/4 in favour of the petitioner on the basis of a document, dated 17.03.2004. Gajuwaka Municipality became part of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation, the respondent herein. An endorsement, dated 26.07.2008, was issued to the petitioner stating that the assessment in respect of the premises in favour of P.Shankara Rao has been cancelled. The grievance of the petitioner is that though his name is mutated in respect of the said property, the assessment is not being effected. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The petitioner has placed before this Court, a copy of the proceedings, dated 18.10.2005, issued by the Commissioner of Gajuwaka Municipality and the endorsement, dated 26.07.2008, issued by the respondent. These proceedings must naturally lead to assessment of the property in the name of the petitioner. If there exist factors, that prevent such assessment, the respondent is under obligation to intimate the same to the petitioner. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the respondent shall assess the premises bearing Door No.27-1-245/4 in the name of the petitioner, within four (4) weeks from today, in case the mutation in his favour is still intact. It is also directed that if any reasons exist for non- assessment of the same, the same shall be communicated to the petitioner within that period itself. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:02.11.2009 Note: Issue cc in one week. (B/o) kdl
