IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) TUESDAY, THE THIRTY FIRST DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.8619 of 2010 Between: Mohd. Khader Shareef ..... PETITIONER (S) AND The Commissioner, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Lower Tank Bund, Hyderabad and others .....RESPONDENT(S) THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.8619 of 2010 ORDER: The main grievance of the petitioner is that respondents 1 and 2, without initiating any land acquisition proceedings and without paying any compensation, are laying a sewerage pipeline and cement road in his land. Heard Sri Mohd. Azemuddin Farooqui, learned counsel for the petitioner; Sri R.Radha Krishna Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, SNC Zone; and Sri V.Sudhakar Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Works and Sewerage Board. The petitioner is seeking payment of compensation to him for the land over which the respondents 1 and 2 are laying a sewerage pipeline and cement road by relying upon an Agreement of Sale dated 05.06.1995 to show his title in respect of that land. According to the admitted case of the petitioner, he did not get the land registered so far. Apart from that the counsel appearing for the respondents 1 and 2 submit that they have not acquired any land of the petitioner or laying any road except strengthening the old roads. Since the petitioner failed to establish his title to the land, this Court cannot grant any relief as prayed for in the writ petition. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. However, the petitioner is at liberty to avail the alternative remedies available to him in law and prove his title to receive compensation. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ N.V.RAMANA, J. 31st August 2010 CVRK
