THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.27182 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is the owner of premises bearing No.12-23-32 of Puvvadavari Street, Kothapet, Guntur within the limits of the 1st respondent Corporation. A notice dated 29.11.2008 under Section 146 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act was served upon the petitioner stating that an extent of 82.5 square yards of land from his property is affected in the road widening and that he is entitled to opt either for compensation for the structures or for the benefit under G.O.Ms.No.33, dated 03.03.2009. The petitioner submitted a representation dated 04.12.2009 stating that he is prepared to surrender the affected portion of land on payment of compensation. He further stated that he needs at least 20 days’ time, since the death ceremonies of his paternal aunt are in progress. His grievance is that the respondents have not acceded to his request. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The offer made by the respondents is very clear and equally clear is the response of the petitioner. Out of the two alternatives, viz., the monetary compensation and benefit under G.O.Ms.No.33, the petitioner has chosen the first one and expressed his willingness to part with the affected land. He made a request to defer the further action by 20 days, by citing the reasons. Though no specific orders are passed by the respondents in this regard, the request made by the petitioner deserves to be acceded to. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall take further steps vis-à-vis the property of the petitioner after 15th January, 2010 and take possession of the property only after the payment of the compensation as agreed to by them. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 14.12.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.27182 of 2009 Date: 14.12.2009 JSU
