THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.A.No.1528 of 2008 ORAL JUDGMENT: (per the HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA) Heard both sides. 2. This Writ Appeal is directed against the order, dated 20.10.2008, passed by a learned single judge of this Court, disposing of the writ petition W.P.No.22469 of 2008, with certain directions and observations. 3. Appellant is the petitioner and respondents are the respondents in the writ petition. 4. Brief facts of the case, necessary for disposal of the present writ appeal, are that the appellant is the tenant of premises bearing No.5-1-496 and 497, situate at Jambagh, Hyderabad; that when the official respondents have issued a notice to the landlord, in the year 2003, informing him that the premises would be demolished, for the purpose of widening the road, questioning the same, the appellant had filed writ petition W.P.No.9631 of 2003; that though interim order has been granted initially, eventually, by order, dated 28.07.2008, the main writ petition was disposed of with a direction to the respondent – authorities to follow due process of law, pursuant to which a notice, dated 01.10.2008, was issued and that challenging the said notice, the present writ petition is filed. 5. The learned single judge has pointed out that in substantial compliance of the order, passed by this Court, in W.P.No.9631 of 2003, a notice was issued to the landlord, who, admittedly, gave consent for the same; that the appellant, being the tenant, will have no better right than the landlord, as the final looser is the landlord, but not the tenant and furthermore the purpose of demolition is for a public cause. 6. The contention of the learned counsel for the appellant that the appellant has been doing business in the said premises cannot be a ground to stall the action of the authorities, particularly when the action has been initiated in absolute regard to the law. 7. For the foregoing, we do not find any merit in the writ appeal and the same is liable to be dismissed. 8. Accordingly, the writ appeal is dismissed, at the stage of admission. However, there shall be no order as to costs. ____________________​___ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA _______________________ JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH 20TH NOVEMBER 2008 AVS/LSK
