The petitioners claim to have constructed houses after obtaining permission from the respective Gram Panchayats. It is the case of the petitioners that the ﬁrst respondent collected betterment charges from respondents 2 and 3 Gram Panchayats. According to them, they have not violated or deviated the permissions sanctioned to them with regard to construction of houses. When the ﬁrst respondent authority indicated the petitioners to avail the beneﬁt of G.O.Ms.No.901 dated 31.12.2007, the petitioners approached this Court contending that their constructions are in accordance with the permissions approved by respondents 2 and 3 and therefore, the question of their availing the benefit under G.O.Ms.No.901 does not arise. When the writ petition came up for admission, Sri G. Vishweshwar Reddy, learned Standing Counsel of Kakateeya Urban Development Authority, received notice on behalf of respondent No.1, and Ms. G. Elisha, learned Standing Counsel of Bheemaram and Hasanparthi Grampanchayats, received notice on behalf of respondents 2 and 3. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the action of the ﬁrst respondent in indicating the portion in red colour of the respective houses of the petitioners as deviation is arbitrary since the petitioners constructed the houses in accordance with the sanctioned plan. If it is the case of the petitioners that they do not want to avail the beneﬁt under G.O.Ms.No.901. It is always open for the authorities to initiate necessary action with regard to the constructions made by the petitioners in deviation of sanctioned plan, and pass appropriate orders after putting on notice to the affected parties. With the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the admission stage. _________________________ (B. Seshasayana Reddy, J.) 11th September, 2008 Js.
