I have heard Sri Vedula Srinivas, learned counsel for the petitioner; and Sri R.Radhakrishna Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation- respondent No.1. The petitioner is a Society, which claims that the father-in-law of its present President one Sri V.Shankar Reddy was sanctioned an extent of Ac.2.30 guntas by the Government on the banks of river Moosi on the western side of Nayapool in the year 1957; that he was in possession of the said property since then as a Sivai Jamedar; and that the idols of Sri Kaliyuga Laxmi Narasimha Swamy and Mahakali Mata, which allegedly emerged on their own, are in existence for a long time. When there is a threat of demolition of the temples in the year 1996, the petitioner filed O.S.No.4391 of 1991 for permanent injunction. The said suit was decreed by the V Junior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, which was confirmed in appeal in A.S.No.290 of 1999 by the XI Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court (Fast Track Court), Hyderabad, with the observation that the respondents are entitled to deal with the structures in accordance with law by following due process of law. In the present Writ Petition, the petitioner alleged that notwithstanding the said judgment and decree, the respondents are seeking to demolish the temples. Sri R.Radhakrishna Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1-Corporation, on instructions, submitted that so far no action for demolition of the temples is initiated and that if and when such an action is contemplated, the respondents will follow the due process of law as directed by the XI Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, in his judgment, dated 25-6-2002, in A.S.No.290 of 1999. This submission of the learned Standing Counsel is placed on record and the Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.28318 of 2011 is disposed of as infructuous. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:17-8-2011 MNR
