THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 17703 OF 2010 DATE: 28.07.2010 Between: Boinakar Devender and another ..... PETITIONERS AND The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, rep. by its Commissioner, Tankbund Road, Hyderabad and another .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 17703 OF 2010 ORDER : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the notice dated 01.06.2010 issued by the respondents calling upon the petitioners to remove the alleged unauthorised constructions made in the premises bearing Nos.9-2-733 to 9-2-737 situated Rezimental Bazar, Secunderabad is arbitrary and illegal. It is primarily contended by the petitioners that as no opportunity was granted to the petitioners at any point of time to explain the alleged deviations and unauthorised constructions and the impugned notice was straightaway issued under Section 636 of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 directing removal of the structures in question, the impugned notice being in violation of the principles of natural justice is liable to be set aside on that ground alone. Having heard the learned counsel for the respondents, who could not dispute the fact that there was no prior notice to the petitioners and taken note of the fact that the alleged contraventions were mentioned in detail in the impugned notice, the petitioners are hereby permitted to submit their explanation treating the impugned notice dated 01.06.2010 as a show cause notice within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. If any such explanation is received within the time fixed above, the respondents shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Till such time, demolition of the structures in question shall not be made. Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 28.07.2010 Ivd
