HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 9881 OF 2011. ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent has issued notice dated 28.3.2011under Section 636 of the Hyderabad Municipal corporation Act, 1955, directing to remove/pull down the unauthorized construction of huge compound wall enclosing the agricultural land and six unauthorized compound walls with rooms within 24 hours of receipt of the notice, without issuing prior notice as required under Section 452 (2) of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent admits that no prior notice as required under Section 452(2) of the HMC Act was issued to the petitioner. Having heard the learned Counsel on either side, it is clear that it is incumbent upon the respondent to issue prior notice as required under Section 452 (2) of the HMC Act, 1955, before issuing notice under Section 636 of the Act. In that view of the matter, the notice issued by the respondent in proceedings No.22727/GHMC/RC/UC/2011, dated 28.3.2011 is hereby quashed. However, it is left open to the respondent to issue prior notice under Section 452(2) of the HMC Act, 1955 to the petitioner in its name and proceed further in the matter. The Writ Petition is allowed. There shall be no order as to costs. ------------------------------------ -- JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA Dated 13th April, 2011. Msnro
