THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3202 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the owner of mulgi bearing No. 16-6-23 with ground and first floors, admeasuring 32.33 square yards at Chaderghat, Hyderabad. His grievance is that the respondents are trying to demolish the building, without issuing notice. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondents. The Municipal Corporation is conferred with the power to proceed against the building, if it is constructed without any sanctioned plan or any deviation thereof. On the other hand, if any private property is needed for widening of the road or for any other public purpose, they can acquire the property by initiating proceedings under Sections 146 and 147 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955. There are also instances where the Corporation can negotiate with the owner and take over the property in accordance with the agreed terms. The question of private individuals property being demolished or taken over without following the procedure prescribed under the law does not arise. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall not demolish or otherwise interfere with the property bearing No. 16-6-23 with ground and first floors, admeasuring 32.33 square yards at Chaderghat, Hyderabad except by issuing notice under the relevant provisions of law. There shall be no order as to costs. L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt. 14.02.2011 Note: cc within three days b.o. lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.3202 of 2011 Dt. 14.02.2011
