THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY and THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO WRIT PETITION No.21509 of 2010 Dated : 07.09.2010 Between : B.Suribabu … Petitioner a n d Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation & others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY and THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO WRIT PETITION No.21509 of 2010 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy) This Writ Petition in the form of public interest litigation is filed challenging the proceedings in Ref.No.457/2009A5/Zone-III (Rev), dated 04.10.2010 granting leasehold rights in favour of the third respondent in respect of 100 Sq.Yards of government land by respondents 1 and 2. When the matter is taken up for admission on 30.08.2010, learned counsel for the petitioner requested time. As such, the matter was directed to be listed after one week. Again on 06.09.2010, when the matter is taken up, none appeared for the writ petitioner. As such, the matter was directed to be posted on 07.09.2010 under the caption ‘for dismissal’. Today, in spite of the matter being listed under the caption ‘for dismissal’, none represented the petitioner. Coming to the merits of the writ petition, by the impugned proceedings the subject property was leased out to the third respondent herein for a period of one year on a monthly rent of Rs.3,200/- with the conditions that the lessee should not erect permanent structures on the leased out site and the first respondent is at liberty to cancel the lease deed without assigning any notice if the lessee violates the terms and conditions. At para No.9 of the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is alleged that locality people made several representations to respondents 1 and 2 and also the District Collector, Visakhapatnam, requesting them to stop illegal activities of the third respondent, but the respondents have failed to take any action. When no specific violation has been pointed out on the part of the third respondent and the petitioner has not stated anywhere in his affidavit that he is espousing the cause of the public in general and that he is not having any personal interest in the matter, we are not inclined to entertain this Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. _____________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J ___________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 7th September, 2010 sur
