THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.21275 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner bakery was directed to be closed, by closure notice dated 30.05.2011 issued by the second respondent. It is the case of the second respondent that though a show cause notice dated 23.04.2011 was issued calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why action should not be initiated under the provisions of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporations Act, 1955 (for short ‘the Act’) for the alleged violation of Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Bye-laws for Regulation of Eating Houses or Hotels, 1973 as well as the provisions of the Act, the petitioner failed to submit its explanation. Accordingly, the closure notice dated 30.05.2011 was issued and the petitioner establishment was closed. The petitioner states that the show cause notice dated 23.04.2011 was never served upon it and therefore soon after the closure notice was issued and the establishment was closed, a detailed representation dated 21.06.2011 was made bringing to the notice of respondent Nos.1 to 3 that the business run by the petitioner in the premises in question did not cause inconvenience to any of the residents of the locality and that the entire action was initiated on a false complaint made by the fourth respondent, who is the owner of the premises in question. It is pleaded that in spite of the said representation dated 21.06.2011, respondent Nos.1 to 3 failed to consider the petitioner’s request and so far no action has been taken for revoking the closure order. Aggrieved by the inaction on the part of respondent Nos.1 to 3, the present writ petition is filed. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 3. As could be seen from the material available on record, the petitioner made a detailed representation dated 21.06.2011 stating that his business was not causing inconvenience to anybody and requesting to revoke the order of closure. Therefore, respondent Nos.1 to 3 are bound to consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law after making the necessary enquiry. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on merits, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent Nos.1 to 3 to consider the petitioner’s representation dated 21.06.2011 and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ (G. ROHINI, J) 28th July, 2011 Note: Issue CC in two days. (B/o) GHN
