THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26878 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the assignees of plots of different size situated within the limits of Dharamavaram Municipality, 1st respondent herein. Reference is made to the litigation in relation to the proposal to cancel the pattas, filing of writ petition etc. The grievance of the petitioners ventilated through this writ petition is that the 1st respondent is obstructing the construction of houses by them over the land assigned to them in Survey No.533/3 of Dharmavaram Town. They seek a declaration that the action of respondents 2 and 3 is illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. The principal grievance of the petitioner is against the 1st respondent in obstructing the construction of houses. The 1st respondent has absolutely nothing to do with the assignment of places in favour of the petitioners or cancellation of the assignments. It is alleged that the attempt of the petitioners to construct the houses is being thwarted by the 1st respondent. A Municipality is duty bound to ensure that no construction within its area of operation takes place, except on the basis of the specific permission accorded for that purpose. The petitioners state that they have not obtained nay permission from the 1st respondent. Unless and until permissions are obtained by the petitioners, they cannot construct the houses. In case, the applications submitted by the petitioners are not being considered in accordance with law, they can certainly prosecute the remedies before the proper Forum. This Court is of the view that no relief can be granted to the petitioners. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed leaving it open to the petitioners to obtain permission for construction from the Municipality and thereafter to proceed with the construction in accordance with the sanctioned plan. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 09.11.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26878 of 2008 Date: 09.11.2009 JSU
