THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.18796 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner entered into a development agreement with respondent No.4 and deceased- respondent No.5 in respect of plot No.163 carved out of Survey No.6 of Kothaguda Village, Serilinampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District on 19.12.2000. The developers are said to have obtained permission for construction of residential complex with ground plus two floors. The grievance of the petitioner is that not only an additional floor was constructed but also the building was developed into a commercial complex. He claims to have made a representation and got issued legal notices to the authorities of the Municipal Corporation and states that no action has been taken thereon. This writ petition is filed with a prayer to direct respondents 1 to 3 not to entertain any application to regularize the unauthorized construction. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the Municipal Corporation. The grievance of the petitioner has many facets. Part of it is about the violation of the terms of agreement and he is said to have filed O.S.No.2689 of 2006 on the file of the I Additional Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy. The grievance that is projected in this writ petition is about the conversion of the building from residential to commercial one and construction of additional floor. But for the fact that the Government of Andhra Pradesh introduced the Building Penalisation Scheme, the Corporation would have swung into action by this time. As long as the application for regularisation of the unauthorized construction is pending, they cannot take steps for demolition of the unauthorized structure. The objection raised by the petitioner can be directed to be taken into account by the Government and the Municipal Corporation, whenever the application submitted by the developer for regularization of the unauthorized construction is considered. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that it shall be open to the petitioner to submit objections to the application submitted by respondents 4 and 6 to 8 for regularization of the construction on plot No. No.163 carved out of Survey No.6 of Kothaguda Village, Serilinampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, whenever the application is taken up for consideration. The concerned authority shall also expedite the process, so that the parties would know their respective rights at the earliest. The petitioner shall be put on notice whenever the application submitted by the builders is taken up for consideration. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 03.11.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.18796 of 2009 Date: 03.11.2009 JSU
