THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4989 of 2005 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a mandamus declaring the action of the respondent in taking steps to demolish his house bearing No.9-6-99/55 admeasuring 90 sq.yards situated at Durga Bhavani Nagar, Champapet, Ranga Reddy District, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that he is the owner of the house in question and the respondent is taking steps to demolish the said house without issuing any notice and giving an opportunity of hearing him. In the counter-affidavit filed by the respondent, while generally denying various allegations made by the petitioner, it is stated that the petitioner is not having any title in respect of 90 sq.yards of land covered by Survey Nos.37 and 38 of Sultanvalva Village, Champapet, LB Nagar Municipality, Ranga Reddy District. It is further stated that the said land is covered by the approved layout granted by the Gram Panchayat in Survey Nos.36 to 44 and 46 of Sulthanvalva Village. It is further stated that the petitioner started construction of one room in an extent of 90 sq.yards, which is earmarked for open space in the approved layout of the Gram Panchayat, as such, the respondent is taking steps to prevent the petitioner from such construction. It is also stated that the petitioner has not produced any document in proof of his title in respect of the house in question and also permission for the alleged construction. When it is disputed by the respondent in the counter that the petitioner is not the owner of the house in question, as the said piece of land is earmarked for open space in the approved layout of the Gram Panchayat, this Court cannot grant any relief to the petitioner. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition is devoid of merit and is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 3rd DECEMBER, 2009. kvni
