THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4356 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner purchased three rooms in a building complex bearing No.8-2-683/A/C/1 to 3, Bhadruka Enclave Apartments, Road No.12, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. The complex is a residential one. The petitioner submitted an application on 10.10.2005 with a request to permit her to put the premises to commercial use, placing reliance upon G.O.Ms.No.508 Municipal Administration and Urban Development (II) Department, dated 15.11.2002. Her grievance is that the first respondent has not taken any steps so far on the application. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner does not dispute that as of now, the use of the building is residential one. The learned Standing Counsel states that the construction itself was unauthorised. The relevant provisions of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955, and the Andhra Pradesh Urban Areas (Development) Act, 1975, together with Rules made thereunder, stipulate the procedure for change of land use within the limits of the Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad. The Government, no doubt, issued G.O.Ms.No.508, dated 15.11.2002, prescribing a different procedure. All the same, the question as to whether the petitioner satisfies the parameters stipulated thereunder, needs to be examined by the respondents. This Court cannot express any opinion, much less, issue any direction in this regard, except that the first respondent be required to hasten consideration of the application of the petitioner. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the first respondent to pass appropriate orders on the application submitted by the petitioner, within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner shall enclose a copy of her representation along with the copy of this order and submit the same to the first respondent. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:21.10.2009 Note: Issue cc in one week. (B/o) kdl
