THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.20363 OF 2011 ORDER : The petitioner claims to be the tenant of the premises No.11-25-66, K.T. Road, Vijayawada wherein he is carrying on business in Cement. The respondent No.3 herein is the owner of the said premises. This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the notice dated 14.7.2011 issued by the respondent No.1 – Municipal Corporation of Vijayawada – under Section 456 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporations Act, 1955 (for short, ‘HMC Act, 1955’) informing the petitioner that the premises in his occupation is in dilapidated condition and accordingly directing him to remove the same is arbitrary and illegal. The impugned action is primarily assailed on the ground that there was no prior notice to the petitioner. It is also contended that the allegation that the building is in dilapidated condition, endangering safety and health of the inmates as well as the passers-by is factually incorrect. I have heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 1st respondent Corporation. As could be seen from the impugned notice, the same was issued on the basis of the report dated 20.6.2011 given by the Executive Engineer of the Corporation stating that the building was not structurally sound, it may collapse and therefore it needs to be demolished. However, as noticed above, the petitioner disputes the same. Moreover, admittedly this is a case where no opportunity was given to the petitioner to raise his objections as provided under Section 459 of the HMC Act, 1955. Having regard to the facts and circumstance of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition permitting the writ petitioner to submit his objections, if any, to the action proposed in the impugned notice on or before 27.7.2011. If any such objections are received within the time fixed above, the 1st respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Till such time, no steps shall be taken for removal of the building in question. Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J. Dt. 20.7.2011 Note:- CC by tomorrow.
