Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr. P.RAJESWARA RAO Counsel for the Respondent: Mr.P.Radhakrishna, Standing Counsel for the Municipality. The Court at the stage of admission made the following : O R D E R : This writ petition is filed by the petitioner aggrieved by the Order dated 19.04.2005 passed by the respondent under Section 228(3) of the Andhra Pradesh Municipalities Act, 1965, (for short ‘the Act’). It is not in dispute that against the said Order an appeal lies under Section 345 of the Act and the petitioner has preferred such an appeal before the Municipal Council along with an application for stay. The petitioner states that the Municipal Council is not likely to meet within a month, and so, he is not able to get any immediate orders and in the meanwhile the employees of the Corporation are attempting to demolish the structures in question in pursuance of the impugned order dated 19.04.2005. Hence, this writ petition. Having heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent and keeping in view that the statutory appeal has already been preferred by the petitioner and pending before the Municipal Council, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction that the application for stay filed by the petitioner in the appeal filed against the order dated 19.04.2005 shall be disposed of in accordance with Law within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the order dated 19.04.2005 shall not be given effect to. However, it is made clear that the petitioner shall not proceed with any further constructions in the land in question until further orders. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________ G.ROHINI, J. Dated: 28th April, 2005. NOTE: Registry is directed to communicate a copy of this Order to the Municipal Council, Gaddiannaram Municipality.
