Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.U.RAMANJANEYULU Counsel for the Respondent No.1: GP for Municipal Administration Counsel for the Respondent No.2: MR.T.S.VENKATARAMANA The Court, at the admission stage, made the following: ORDER: The main grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that he made a representation dated 30.09.2004 to the respondents seeking to remove the encroachments made on the road margin by one Rayapudi Vandhanamma causing inconvenience to the public, but so far no action is being taken. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Municipal Administration appearing on behalf of respondent No.1, and learned Standing Counsel for the respondent No.2. With their consent the writ petition is taken up for disposal at the admission stage itself. Since the representation of the petitioner dated 30.09.2004 is said to be pending consideration before the respondents, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the same and after affording an opportunity of hearing to the affected parties take appropriate action in the matter in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. ________________ (N.V.
