THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.24363 of 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is to declare the action of the respondents, in not constructing ground + 1 houses in the place of the huts of the petitioners on par with the hut dwellers in the locality, as arbitrary and illegal. Reliance is placed by the petitioners on the order passed by this Court, in W.P.No.20643 of 2009 dated 18.12.2009, whereunder this Court took note of the submission, made on behalf of the government, that the HUDCO scheme meant for construction of houses was completed except over plot Nos.173 to 177 since the occupants therein (petitioners in W.P.No.20643 of 2009) had not vacated the said plots; the petitioners had not even fulfilled the conditions of the HUDCO scheme by handing over the site to the authorities; as the HUDCO scheme was not in force subsequently, the revenue authorities had moved proposals to build ground + 3 under the ‘JNNURN’ scheme; and construction activity would be started by the Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad after grant of permission and taking over possession from the petitioners herein. After recording the contentions of the respondents, this Court disposed of the Writ Petition directing them to expedite construction of the houses in the plots of the petitioners. Thereafter, the petitioners therein filed WPMP.No.3450 of 2011 in W.P.No.20643 of 2011 and this Court, by its order dated 14.02.2011, disposed of the WPMP directing the respondents that, if any other person in the subject area was allowed to make his own construction under ground + 1 scheme instead of ground + 3, the case of the petitioners, for construction of houses under ground + 1 scheme on their own without any aid from the government, should also be considered. The petitioners herein seek a similar benefit as was granted in WPMP.No.3450 of 2011 in W.P.No.20643 of 2011 dated 14.02.2011. Interim orders passed by Courts are not precedents for other cases which may be on similar facts (Empire Industries Limited v. Union Of India[1]). Since the respondents had already stated that proposals had been moved for construction of ground + 3 houses in plot Nos.173 to 177 under the ‘JNNURN’ scheme, and construction activity would be started by the Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad after grant of permission and taking over possession from the petitioners in W.P.No.20643 of 2011 dated 18.12.2009, I see no reason to pass any other order based on a subsequent interlocutory order of this Court which, as noted hereinabove, is not binding. In any event, what sort of houses are required to be constructed; whether ground + 1 instead of ground + 3 have to be constructed over the plots in question are all matters for the executive to examine, and not for this Court to dictate. I see no reason to grant the relief sought for. The Writ Petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs.
