According to him, his vendor constructed a compound wall and a shed in the plot. The grievance of the petitioner is that the second respondent tried to demolish the compound wall without issuing any notice. Hence, this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The Corporation is vested with the power to proceed against the unauthorised and illegal constructions. However, before any steps are taken, notices under the relevant provisions of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act have to be issued. No demolition can take place unless such notices are issued. The allegation of the petitioner that the second respondent did not issue any notice to him remains un- rebutted. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall not proceed against the property held by the petitioner, without issuing notice under relevant provisions of law. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY 24th February, 2011 VJL/KDL
