THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3806 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioners state that their father, by name Fiaz Khan, was the owner and possessor of premises bearing No.16-7-169 together with vacant land admeasuring 897 square yards at Grain Market Area, Girmajipet, Warangal. They are said to have inherited the property after the death of their father. It is stated that when there was some interference with their possession by the then Warangal Municipality, they filed O.S.No.403 of 1983 in the Court of the Principal District Munsif, Warangal for the relief of injunction and that the suit was decreed on 17.12.1985.

No counter-affidavit is filed by the respondents. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioners assert title in respect of the property referred to above. In case the respondents recognized the ownership of the petitioners over the said property and they need the land for any public purpose, they have to acquire the same in accordance with law. On the other hand, if the respondents are of the view that the petitioners have encroached into any property owned by the Municipal Corporation, procedure under the relevant provisions of law, i.e. Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, which applies to Warangal Municipality, must be followed. While admitting the writ petition, this Court directed the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from the premises in question.
