THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16269 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner is the owner of premises bearing No.10-1- 310, Govindarajulagutta, Warangal District. It has been undertaking manufacture of beedis in the said premises for the past several decades. On receiving complaints from the local residents that the activity of manufacture of beedis is resulting in health hazard, the Municipal Corporation of Warangal, respondent No.1 herein, issued notice, dated 23.05.2006, directing the petitioner to explain as to why the premises be not sealed. The petitioner submitted his explanation on 12.06.2006. However, without passing any orders, respondent No.1 sealed the premises on 29.07.2006. The action of the respondent No.1 is challenged in this writ petition. A counter-affidavit is filed by the Commissioner of respondent No.1. The facts pleaded by the petitioner are not seriously contradicted. It is stated that the explanation submitted by the petitioner was not found to be satisfactory and to prevent the health hazard, the premises was sealed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1. Even according to respondent No.1, the petitioner has submitted its explanation to the show cause notice. In case the explanation was not satisfactory, an order duly indicating the relevant provisions of law and the action against the petitioner ought to have been passed. It is only when the petitioner failed to comply with such an order that the occasion to seal the premises would have arisen that too if otherwise provided for in law. It is not in dispute that no orders were passed against the petitioner. It is brought to the notice of this Court that pursuant to the interim orders passed by this Court on 03.08.2006, the seal has since been removed. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that it shall be open to respondent No.1 to pass orders on the basis of the show cause notice and the explanation submitted by the petitioner on 12.06.2006 and take further action in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:03.06.2010. Note: Issue cc in three days. (B/o) kdl
