Singhvi, CJ On the last date i.e. 23.04.2007, the case was adjourned to enable the authorities of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to persuade the residents to voluntarily demolish the offending structures and also asked the counsel appearing for Chowmohalla Palace to consider the requests of the residents to raise the compound wall at the palace up to parapet wall so that exposure from inside is blocked. Learned counsel appearing for Chowmohalla palace says that so far no decision has been taken in the matter of raising of the compound wall. In view of the above, we direct the functionaries of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to abandon their efforts to persuade the residents to demolish the structures raised by them. This matter will be considered as and when Chowmohalla Palace Trust comes with a written undertaking to increase the height of the compound wall. Learned Government Pleader says that final notification has already been issued declaring British Residency as an ancient monument under the Andhra Pradesh Ancient and Historical Monument and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1960. In view of the above, the proceedings of the writ petition are closed. G.S. SINGHVI, CJ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 19.06.2007 ksld
