THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 29999 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled seeking a mandamus declaring the action of Respondents 1 to 3 in not demolishing the illegal structures raised by the erstwhile managing committee of the 4th respondent on the property known as Masjid-E-Aqsa, situated at Seethaphal Mandi near Railway Gate, Zamia Osmania, Secunderabad, as illegal and arbitrary. The case of the petitioner is that the 4th respondent is an ancient Masjid. The area of the 4th respondent is 8220 square yards. During the process of road widening, by the 1st respondent, 200.83 square yards of its site was aﬀected, for which, a compensation of Rs.35,32,430/- was awarded. The erstwhile Managing Committee of the 4th respondent received the said compensation by misrepresentation. Further, the 4 th respondent, represented by its former Managing Committee commenced illegal constructions by demolishing the old mulgis and also on the adjoining open land belonging to the 4th respondent without obtaining prior permission from Respondents 1 to 3. They diverted the compensation amount to make the illegal constructions. Though the petitioner made several representations, latest being on 27.10.2011, to Respondents 1 and 2 to demolish the illegal structures raised on the said property, no action has been taken so far. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the 4th respondent is making constructions without there being any sanctioned plan and also without obtaining permission from Respondents 1 and 2 and that though the same was complained to the oﬃcial respondents, they have not taken any action. Learned Standing Counsel for Respondents 1 and 2 contends that Respondents 1 and 2 would take appropriate decision on the representation of the petitioner after giving reasonable opportunity to the affected parties. The case of the petitioner is that he made representations to Respondents 1 and 2 alleging that the erstwhile Managing Committee of the 4th respondent has made some illegal constructions, no action has been taken so far. Since Respondents 1 and 2 have not entertained the representation of the petitioner, it is appropriate to direct them to entertain, consider and take appropriate decision on the representations of the petitioner, after giving a reasonable opportunity of hearing to the 4th respondent, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With this direction, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. --------------------- (K.C. BHANU, J) 14th November 2011 ksld
