THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.32812 OF 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking to issue Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondent in not considering the representation of the petitioner, dated 05-01-2011 to grant permission for conversion of a single shop into three shops in premises bearing D.No.18/100-28, Old Sharoff Bazar, Near Old Bus Stand, Kurnool, in spite of repeated requests as illegal and arbitrary and consequently direct the respondent to accord permission for the said conversion. 2. It is stated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that the petitioner and his brother are absolute joint owners of the above said premises, having purchased the same from its lawful owner by virtue of a registered sale deed, dated 29-07-1997 and ever since the date of purchase, they are in possession and enjoyment of the same without interruption from anybody. As they intended to convert single shop into three shops, they submitted a representation to the respondent. Till today, the respondent did not take any action. Hence, the writ petition. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner contended that petitioner submitted a representation to the respondent for conversion of single shop into three shops without any major changes of the building, but no action has been taken by the respondent and hence, he prays to give a direction to the respondent. 4.

The respondent-municipality has to take appropriate decision on the representation of the petitioner as to whether the single shop in premises bearing D.No.18/100-28, Old Sharoff Bazar, Near Old Bus Stand, Kurnool, can be converted into three shops. 6. Therefore, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent-municipality to take appropriate decision and pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner, dated 05-01- 2011 in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
