Counsel for the respondents: Sri C.V.Rajeeva Reddy. This Court made the following: ORDER:- In this Writ Petition the petitioner questioned order dated 8-12-2006 in CMA No.262 of 2006 on the file of the learned III Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, whereby he confirmed order dated 10-5- 2006 passed by respondent No.1 ordering for the petitioner’s eviction. At the hearing Sri P.Sriharsha Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that the writ petition may be disposed of without going into the merits of the case and by granting reasonable time to the petitioner to vacate the premises. Having regard to this submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the fact that the petitioner is carrying on business in the leased premises since the year 1979 and it will be difficult for him to secure a suitable alternative premises, I deem it appropriate to permit the petitioner to remain in possession of the premises in question for a period of one year from today. The petitioner shall file an affidavit before the Registrar (Judicial) of this Court that on the expiry of one year he will hand over vacant possession of the premises to the A.P. Housing Board-respondent No.3, within a period of two weeks from today. Thereupon, the Registrar (Judicial) shall place the affidavit in the file. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:19-6-2009 MNR
