It appears, Kakatiya Urban Development Authority, Warangal, proposed to widen Thousand Pillar Temple approach road to 100 feet, and sent the proposal to the respondents-Corporation. The respondents convened a meeting on 06.11.2005, and requested the petitioners to attend the meeting, presumably, to take the consent of the petitioners and others for parting the land affected by road widening. Even before any decision could be taken thereon, apprehending that the respondents might demolish the constructed portion of the buildings and also forcibly take possession of the land, the present writ petitions are filed seeking a writ of mandamus to declare that the respondents have no right to demolish the petitioners’ houses without obtaining consent. At the stage of admission itself, on instructions, the learned Standing Counsel for Municipal Corporation of Warangal submits that so far no decision is taken in the matter and the writ petitions are filed on mere apprehension. He, however, does not dispute the legal position that if the petitioners’ property is to be taken for widening the road, the respondents have to necessarily follow the procedure contemplated either under Section 146 or under Section 147 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporations Act, 1955, as applicable to the Warangal Corporation. The same is recorded, and the writ petitions are accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 14.12.2005 vs
