HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.11464 of 2010 31st May 2010 Between: K. Shameer and others … PETITIONER(S) and Government of Andhra Pradesh, Municipal Administration Department, rep. by its Secretary to Government, Secretariat, Hyderabad and another … RESPONDENT(S) HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.11464 of 2010 ORDER: Heard Sri Md.Sharfuddin, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri A.Sridhar, learned Standing Counsel of the Kurnool Municipal Corporation. At their request the Writ Petition is being disposed of at the stage of admission. Petitioners claim to have erected shops, for carrying on petty business, in the road margins opposite the Kurnool Municipal Corporation complex. They are aggrieved by the action of the respondents in seeking to dismantle their structures. Sri A.Sridhar, learned Standing Counsel for the Kurnool Municipal Corporation, would submit that the shops in question have already been dismantled since they were abutting the road margins. Sri Md.Sharfuddin, learned counsel for the petitioners, would fairly state that, while three of the four shops in question have already been dismantled, one shop belonging to the first petitioner has not been dismantled till date and that the action of the respondents in seeking to do so without putting the first petitioner on notice is illegal. Ends of justice would be met if the second respondent is directed to put the first petitioner on notice, give him an opportunity of being heard and, in case the shop in question has not as yet been dismantled, not to do so till an order is passed after a notice is issued to him in this regard. It is made clear that the first petitioner shall not, under the guise of this order, re-erect the shop in question if it has already been dismantled. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J 31st May 2010 CVRK Note: Issue copy in three days. B/o CVRK
