IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE THIRTY FIRST DAY OF MARCH TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17248 OF 2007 Between: Smt. P. Aruna Devi and others ..... PETITIONERS AND The State of Andhra Pradesh and others ....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17248 OF 2007 ORDER: The petitioners challenge the sanction accorded by the respondents 5 and 6 in favour of the 9th respondent through proceedings, dated 03.07.2007, enabling her to make constructions. The basis for the petitioners to challenge the said permission is as follows: Legal heirs of land owners filed W.P.Nos.24436 and 24441 of 2005 in relation to the proceedings initiated under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 (for short, “the Act”), and this Court passed an interim order on 16.11.2005 directing that the parties thereto shall maintain status quo. The petitioners stated that the permission accorded by the respondents 5 and 6 in favour of the 9th respondent is not in consonance of the orders of status quo passed by this Court and other ancillary grounds were also raised. Heard Sri C. Hanumantha Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners; learned Government Pleader for Municipal Administration; learned counsel for the 9th respondent and Sri Radha Krishna Reddy, learned standing counsel for Municipal Corporation, respondents 5 and 6. The basis on which the petitioners challenge the impugned order is that it is in contravention of the interim order passed by this Court in the two Writ Petitions referred to above. It is now brought to the notice of this Court that the said Writ Petitions were disposed of on 09.06.2008 taking into account the fact that the Act was repealed by the Parliament in its application to the State of Andhra Pradesh. Thereby, the very foundation of filing of the Writ Petitions ceases to exist. Added to that, the petitioners have already filed O.S.No.2352 of 2004 in the Court of IX Junior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, for the relief of injunction in respect of the property. On dismissal of the suit, they said to have filed an appeal. In this background, nothing survives to be decided in this Writ Petition. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J March 31, 2011 MD HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17248 OF 2007 March 31, 2011
