THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.3165 of 2010 ORDER: A.P. Kuruma Sangham has property in premises bearing No.15-7-277 near Muslimjung Bridge, Hyderabad. It is stated that old buildings were pulled down and proposals are mooted for construction of a hospital building. The plans were prepared together with estimation and that a sum of Rs.10 lakhs was also released under M.P. Land Funds by the authorities concerned. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondents 4 and 5 are proposing to commence the construction without any permission. Respondents 1 to 3 filed counter-affidavit, alleging that no permission is granted as yet and the construction can take place only after the permission is accorded. Respondents 4 and 5 filed a separate counter-affidavit opposing the writ petition, taking objection as to the locus standi of the petitioner. According to them, Sri Ramesh Kumar, General Secretary, has been replaced by another person in the recent elections. It is also stated that the application made for construction was returned by the Municipal Corporation, on the ground that the permission is not being granted, on account of pendency of various proceedings. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for respondents 1 to 3 and learned counsel for respondents 4 and 5. As in the case of Caste Association, there are disputes in the A.P. Kuruma Sangham also. While one group intends to proceed with the construction, the other group is opposing it. The absence of permission from the Municipal Corporation has become handy for the petitioner to oppose the construction. Respondents 4 and 5 are said to have come forward to construct the building. If they are in a position to obtain the permission from the Corporation and proceed with the construction, the petitioner cannot have any plausible objection. Even now, the construction can be commenced duly obtaining permission. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to respondents 4 and 5 or any other agencies to undertake construction of the hospital building, after obtaining permission of the Municipal Corporation. The Corporation shall consider the application for permission on its own merits and pass appropriate orders within four weeks from the date of receipt of the application. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.23.03.2011. GJ
