THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.20791 of 2010 ORDER: According to the petitioners, they are absolute owners of Ac.0.66 cents of land situated at Saibvula Thota, Balaga Ward, Srikakulam, having got the same under a deed of partition dated 13.12.1905. While so, respondents 4 to 20 made an application before the first respondent-Principal Secretary, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Authority on 20.05.2010 for grant of permission for change of usage of land covered by T.S.No.1952/1p and R.S.No.21 situated at Saibula Thota (Tonti Street), Ward No.10, Balaga Ward, Srikakulam, to residential. Hence, the petitioners got issued legal notices dated 27.07.2010 and 28.07.2010 to respondents 2 and 1 respectively. As respondents 1 and 2 were proceeding for grant of change of usage of land to residential, without considering their legal notices, the petitioners filed this writ petition. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the second respondent- Srikakulam Municipality submits that since the legal notice of the petitioners is pending consideration before the second respondent, instead of this Court going into merits of the matter, the second respondent may be directed to dispose of the legal notice of the petitioners expeditiously, for which course of action, the learned counsel for the petitioners also agreed. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the legal notice of the petitioners dated 27.07.2010 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, after issuing notice to the petitioners as well as respondents 4 to 20, expeditiously. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V.RAMANA, J Dated: 20.08.2010 va
