THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Contempt Case No.23 of 2011 Date : 11-03-2011 Between : Kum.Megha Rani Agarwal .. Petitioner and Dr.Sameer Sharma and Others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Contempt Case No.23 of 2011 ORDER : On 31-12-2010, respective counsel were heard with regard to an illegal construction undertaken by some unknown persons. The learned standing counsel, on instructions, submitted that the offices of the corporation inspected the place and found that unauthorized construction was going on and necessary action would be taken in that regard. In the circumstances, this Court by interim orders, dated 31-12-2010 directed the respondents 1 to 3 to restrain the ongoing construction and demolish the construction already made and submit a report to that effect to this court. This contempt is filed complaining that despite the said directions, the respondents did not demolish the unauthorised construction. A counter-affidavit has been filed by the 4th Respondent stating that action was initiated by issuing notice, dated 10-01-2011 under Section 452 of the GHMC Act for demolition of unauthorised construction of ground + first floor on the southern side of Pattargatti post office and pasted the notice on the wall of the unauthorized construction. After receiving an explanation from the Secretary, Hyderabad Cut-Piece Cloth Merchant Association, who is said to have constructed the said construction for the purpose of serving the needs of the general public by supplying drinking water, not being convinced with the said explanation, notice was issued under Section 636 of the Act on 19-01-2011 for removal of the said unauthorized construction. On the said Secretary failing to demolish, the officials demolished the said structure duly obtaining protection from the Charminar Police Station. An order to that effect was also served on the petitioner by letter, dated 24-01-2011. It is, therefore, stated that the interim order of this Court has been complied with. The petitioner, however, has filed a rejoinder stating that although structure has been demolished, the respondents have not removed the debris, thereby facilitating unauthorised occupation of the said area. From a perusal of the counter-affidavit it is evident that the structure was totally demolished. In my view, the demolition so made complies with the interim orders of this Court. If the debris is still remaining, the respondents may take such action as is necessary to remove the same. The Contempt Case is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 11th March, 2011. skmr
