Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.VINAY KAMISETTY Counsel for the Respondent No.: MR.M.DURGA PRASAD The Court made the following : ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondent – Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation and at their request, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. The petitioner claims to be the resident and absolute owner of the property bearing House No.3-6-369/5, Himayatnagar, Hyderabad. It is his grievance that he made a representation to the 1st respondent- Commissioner, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation on 2.9.2009 complaining that the 3rd respondent herein – Sri Sikara Constructions is taking up the constructions in violation of the building byelaws but so far no action has been initiated on the said representation by the authorities so far and hence this writ petition. Pursuant to the notice issued by this Court on 30.9.2008, the 3rd respondent has filed a counter affidavit denying the allegations levelled against it by the petitioner but the respondent Corporation has not filed any counter affidavit. However, since the matter relates to constructions being made against the sanctioned plan, it requires inspection and examination by the authorities. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad to take necessary action on the complaint of the petitioner, after issuing notice to the unofficial respondent, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
