Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.M.V.S.SAI KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent: MR.T.S.VENKATARAMANA This Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORDER: Admittedly, the lease period of the petitioner comes to an end by 22.04.2005. The grievance of the petitioner is that he has been requesting the respondent-Corporation to grant extension of lease, but the same has not been considered by the respondent- Corporation, and in the meanwhile, a tender notice was issued on 21.03.2005 for granting leasehold rights for the period from 01.04.2005 to 31.03.2006. However, no material has been placed before this Court to substantiate his plea that such a request has been made by the petitioner and the same is pending before the respondent- Corporation. In the circumstances, without expressing any opinion as to the claim made by the petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of granting leave and liberty to the petitioner to make an appropriate application before the respondent-Corporation, in which event, the same will be considered and appropriate orders will be passed by the respondent- Corporation in accordance with law. No costs. __________ G.ROHINI, J 15.04.2005 Note: Issue C.C. by 19.04.2005 B/o DR To 1 The Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Vijayawada, Vijayawada. 2 CD copies 3 1 CC to MR.SAI KUMAR
