THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No.18365 of 2009 Oral order: This writ petition is moved by way of House Motion. The petitioner states that he is the absolute owner of the house in question, which he constructed after obtaining necessary permission from the respondent, namely Kakatiya Urban Development Authority. Now it is the grievance of the petitioner that the respondent without acquiring the land of the petitioner, without issuing any notice and without following the due process of law, is trying to demolish the house of the petitioner for the purpose of road widening. Hence, he seeks appropriate directions. The learned Standing Counsel for the respondent admitted that no notice is issued to the petitioner, and submitted that if the respondent needs the land of the petitioner they will follow the due process of law. Having regard to the stand taken by the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent, the learned counsel for the petitioner agreed for the disposal of the writ petition at the admission stage itself with the following directions: If the respondent needs the land of the petitioner for the purpose of road widening, they shall follow the due process of law, in that they shall issue notice to the petitioner calling for his explanation, if any, and upon considering the explanation, if any, to be submitted, pass appropriate orders, and then take action in accordance therewith. Till such exercise is undertaken, status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained by the parties. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J.
