THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.27077 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have submitted a representation to the 4th respondent alleging that respondents 1 to 3, his immediate neighbours, have made constructions in deviation from the sanctioned plan and that his land to an extent of about 9 square yards was encroached. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondents 4 to 6 have not taken any steps on his representation. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for respondents 4 to 6. The petitioner filed a copy of the letter, dated 07.11.2009 addressed by the 6th respondent to the petitioner and respondents 1 to 3. A perusal of the same discloses that the petitioner on the one hand and respondents 1 to 3 on the other have deviated from the respective permissions accorded to them. Respondents 1 to 3 have also initiated steps against the petitioner. The Building Penalization Scheme contained in G.O.Ms.No.901, dated 31.07.2007 provides for various benefits to the citizens. However, a neighbour can certainly raise an objection for extension of the benefit under the G.O., in case the regularization affects his rights. The petitioner has already approached the 4th respondent with his representation. The same needs to be taken into account before the benefit under the G.O. is conferred upon respondents 1 to 3. So is the case with the application filed by the petitioner seeking regularization. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the 4th respondent shall take into account the representation submitted by the petitioner before any orders in favour of respondents 1 to 3 are passed extending the benefit under the G.O. As regards the allegation about the encroachment of land by respondents 1 to 3, it shall be open to the petitioner to file a suit and seek necessary remedy. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 14.12.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.27077 of 2009 Date: 14.12.2009 JSU
