THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10823 of 2008 ORDER: Alleging that the petitioners have made constructions in their premises without obtaining any permission from it, the Municipal Corporation initiated steps against them. This writ petition is filed with a prayer to declare the action of the respondents proposing to demolish the structures on premises bearing No.8-2-686/K/6, as illegal, arbitrary and violative of the provisions of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act (for short ‘the Act’. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The respondents are, no doubt, conferred with the power under the provisions of the Act, as amended from time to time, to demolish the unauthorised structures. The fact, however, remains that on 31.12.2007, the Government of Andhra Pradesh issued G.O.Ms.No.901, providing not only for regularisation of unauthorised structures, subject to certain conditions, but also mandates that any building or structure in respect of which an application is made shall not be demolished. It is brought to the notice of this Court that the petitioners have since submitted an application under the Scheme. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall not demolish the premises until the application submitted by the petitioner under G.O.Ms.No.901, dated 31.12.2007, is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dated:18.11.2009 kdl
