IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V. S. RAO Writ Petition No. 19811 of 2005 Dated: 8th September 2005 Between: Mrs.Yasmin Asad … Petitioner And The Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad, Town Planning Section, Secunderabad Zone, Secunderabad And another. … Respondents Oral Order: The petitioner is owner of premises bearing No.1-10-72/3/A at Begumpet. First respondent sent a communication to her requesting for cooperation in the road-widening programme, as an area admeasuring 26’ x 26’ depth of her property would get affected. She was asked to give her consent for advance possession while informing that compensation would be paid. The petitioner did not give her consent. Apprehending coercive action for demolishing her property, present writ petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad. The learned Standing Counsel has placed before this Court office file showing that petitioner and others in S.P. Road area did not give their consent for giving advance possession and therefore proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 were already initiated. Therefore, the writ petition is misconceived. Now that the land acquisition proceedings are initiated, till they are completed, petitioner cannot be deprived of her right to enjoy the property, except in accordance with law, nor the Corporation can demolish the structures without due process of law. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of at the admission stage. _________________ (V.V.S. Rao, J) 8th September 2005 svs
