Narayana Reddy, R/o. Hyderabad, ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The District Collector, Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy District. 2 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Balanagar, Ranga Reddy District. 3 The Commissioner, Kukatpalli Municipality, Ranga Reddy District. .....RESPONDENT(S) Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to to issue an appropriate writ or order or direction one in the nature of writ of mandamus, iii) declaring the action of the respondents in demolishing the petitioner's premises No.9-26/11 (Sy.No.121), Balanagar Cooperative Industrial estate, Ranga Reddy District, without issuing any notice or without initiating any proceedings, as arbitrary, illegal and contrary to the principles of natural justice; iv) costs be awarded to the petitioner; and pass Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.B.MAHENDER REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: The petitioner seeks to issue a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in demolishing its premises No.9-26/1/1 (Sy.No.121), Balanagar Co-operative Industrial Estate, Ranga Reddy District, without issuing any notice or initiating any proceedings, as illegal and arbitrary. The case of the petitioner is that it is the owner of the land of an extent of 1945 square yards in Sy.No.121 located in Balanagar Co- operative Industrial Estate. While so, one Dhopeshwarkar falsely claimed the said property and obtained an order from the land grabbing Court, against which the petitioner filed W.P.No.25273 of 1999 questioning the order of the land grabbing Court dated 27.09.1999 in LGA No.21 of 1999 and this Court by order dated 06.12.1999 suspended the order of the land grabbing Court. I am not inclined to express any opinion with regard to right and title of the petitioner or Dhopeshwarkar. The only grievance of the petitioner is that the municipal authorities are taking steps to demolish the petitioner’s premises without following due process of law. This Court by order, dated 13.06.2001 granted interim stay directing the respondents not to demolish or interfere with the petitioner’s premises No.9-26/1/1 (Sy.Ano.121), Balanagar Co-operative Industrial Estate, pending disposal of the writ petition. Having regard to the facts of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to demolish the petitioner’s premises without following due process of law. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:03.04.2008 Ccm To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{ANURADHA}
