HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.31814 of 2010 Date : 20-12-2010 Between : Mohammed Saber .. Petitioner And The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, rep. by its Commissioner, having its Office at Municipal Complex, Lower Tank Bund Road, Hyderabad and 3 Others .. Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.31814 of 2010 ORDER : The petitioner, who is the owner and possessor of house property bearing Municipal No.20-3-324, Hussaini Alam, Hyderabad, has filed this Writ Petition to declare the Notice No.1300, dated 04-09-2010 issued by the 1st Respondent calling upon him to show cause in respect of the irregularities mentioned therein, as illegal. In the show cause notice it has been stated that the petitioner has made unauthorized construction of room over GVM land as per the information given by the Tahsildar in Memo No.B/1368/2008, dated 30- 09-2009. The petitioner, instead of waiting for the final orders to be passed under Section 636 of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955, has filed this Writ Petition. It is well settled that a Writ Petition is not maintainable against the show cause notice, except where notice has been issued without jurisdiction and the authority issuing them being incompetent. No such stand as to the jurisdiction of the 1st Respondent has been taken in the Writ Petition. That being so, the Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed and it is accordingly dismissed. However, the petitioner is permitted to submit explanation to the impugned notice within a period of three weeks from today and it is for the respondents to pass appropriate orders on such representation as per law. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 20th December, 2010 skmr
