THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.10018 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the owner of premises bearing house No.3-4-887, Barkathpura, Hyderabad. Complaining that respondents 3 and 4 made construction in the immediate neighbourhood without leaving set backs and obstructing free flow of air and light to him, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 09.01.2008 to respondents 1 and 2. This writ petition is filed alleging that respondents 1 and 2 have not taken any action on the representation. On behalf of the 2nd respondent, a counter affidavit is filed. It is stated that an application claiming the benefit under G.O.Ms.No.901 dated 31.12.2007 has been filed by respondents 3 and 4 before the 1st respondent and the Corporation cannot take any punitive action as long as the application is pending. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for respondents 1 and 2 and the learned counsel for respondents 3 and 4. The Corporation is vested with the power under the provisions of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act to take action against any construction, which is brought into existence without permission or in deviation of the sanctioned plan. The scheme framed by the Government in the G.O referred to above enables any person who makes such construction to seek regularization, subject to certain conditions. There is also a stipulation to the effect that punitive action shall not be taken during the pendency of such application. Much would depend upon the nature of regularization sought and the permissibility thereof under the scheme. The petitioner can put forward his contention before the 1st respondent in relation to the application made by respondents 3 and 4. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that it shall be open to the petitioner to submit his objections/representation vis-à-vis the application submitted by the respondents 3 and 4 for regularization. As and when the application of respondents 3 and 4 is taken up, the 1st respondent shall take the objections raised by the petitioner into consideration. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 18.11.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.10018 of 2008 Date: 18.11.2009 JSU
