HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3857 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners owned premises bearing No. 8-3-168 admeasuring 925 sq. yards situated at Erragadda, Hyderabad. On two different occasions, a part of the said property was acquired or taken over by the Municipal Corporation for the purpose of widening of the road. The petitioners are said to be left with 287.68 sq. yards. Their grievance is that the respondents are trying to undertake work of widening of the road in the left over land of the petitioners without initiating proceedings in accordance with law. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. The record discloses that earlier on two occasions, the respondents negotiated with the petitioners and took possession of part of the property for widening of the road duly extending certain benefits. If they need any further extent from the petitioners, they have to initiate proceedings in accordance with law. There cannot be any justification for the respondents to proceed against the left over portion of the property of the petitioners without their consent and without issuing any notice. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall not undertake any work in the left over extent of the petitioners’ property bearing H. No. 8-3-168, without the consent of the petitioners and without initiating proceedings in accordance with law. No costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY,J DATE: 25th February, 2011 pnb
