THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.24745 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioner claims to be the owner of house bearing No.10-3-192/A/1 (581) situated at Humayun Nagar, Hyderabad. He states that in his adjacent premises bearing No. 10-3-192/A (582), the 4th respondent raised certain constructions in deviation of the sanctioned plan and without leaving the required setbacks and, therefore, he submitted representations dated 06.08.2007 and 07.12.2007 to the respondent authorities, complaining about the illegal constructions made by the 4th respondent and requested them to take necessary action, but no action is initiated till date. Hence, he filed the present writ petition, seeking appropriate relief. Pursuant to the notice issued by this Court and ordering their appearance, a detailed counter-affidavit is filed on behalf of respondents 1 to 3 authorities. So far as the unofficial respondent is concerned, the notice sent to him by this Court was returned with the endorsement ‘addressee refused’. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of respondents 1 to 3, it is stated that the 4th respondent did not maintain the required setbacks and also constructed first floor of the premises in question and a pent house thereon, without obtaining any permission therefor. The 4th respondent, however, applied for regularization of the said unauthorized constructions, under Building Penalization Scheme, on 28.03.2008, and the same is pending consideration. It is further stated that the Corporation will dispose of the said application within two weeks and if no regularization is effected under the Scheme, then the Corporation will initiate necessary action for demolition of the unauthorized constructions made by the 4th respondent. It is also stated that as of now, the windows and ventilators of the premises in question that were opened towards the petitioner’s house and the large portion of open space towards its northern side were completely closed. In view of the aforesaid stand taken by the respondent authorities, no further orders need be passed in the present writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed, placing on record the stand taken by the respondent authorities referred above. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V.
