THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.17156 OF 2010 Dated:28.09.2010 Between: Smt. Jijia Bai .. Petitioner And The Deputy Commissioner, Warangal Municipal Corporation, Warangal and another .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.17156 of 2010 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice V.V.S.Rao) The petitioner is statedly the owner of a house property bearing Municipal No.9-5-31, J.P.N., Road (Mandi Bazar) in Warangal Town. In the second half of 2009, the Municipal Corporation of Warangal revised upwardly the property tax and issued notice to her. This was followed by a special notice dated 20.02.2010. Assailing the same, the petitioner filed the instant writ petition. As directed by us, the Standing Counsel for Municipal Corporation has filed the counter affidavit and the original file is also produced before this Court. The office copy of the impugned notice shows that the special notice was served on the person other than the petitioner. Therefore, it is contended that there is no adequate notice as required under Sections 630 and 631 of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 (the GHMC, for brevity). We have perused the file and also the impugned order. There is a serious dispute with regard to the method and manner of serving the impugned notice. In this factual situation, we are, therefore, convinced that it is a fit case where the petition should be relegated to the appellate authority, namely, the jurisdictional Court of the Senior Civil Judge, Warangal, under Section 282(2) of the Act. We give the liberty to the petitioner to do so. The writ petition, accordingly, stands disposed of. _____________ V.V.S.
