The petitioners’ cause of action arose on 14.6.2005 when the respondent requested them to attend the meeting in connection with road-widening. The petitioners chose to file the Writ Petition after lapse of about six months. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to entertain the Writ Petition. However, it must be observed that unless and until the Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad follows the procedure either under Section 146 or Section 147 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955, the petitioners right to enjoy the property cannot be denied. The Writ Petition with the above observations is accordingly dismissed. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 28.11.2005 bnr Note:CC by 30.11.2005. (B.O) bnr
