HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITON No.9201 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner states that she is the owner of a plot admeasuring 60 square yards in Sramika colony, Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam and that the hut constructed by her was assigned Door No.6-67-21. Her grievance is that when she sought to put asbestos sheets in the place of the thatched roof, the respondents are obstructing the same. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. 3. The Government issued orders to the effect that it shall not be necessary for owners of small plots of less than 100 square yards to seek specific permission to construct. It would suffice if the owner applies to the Corporation proposing to construct and the construction is made in accordance with it. In the instant case, the petitioner does not intend to make any fresh construction. Her attempt is to replace the thatched roof with the asbestos sheets. That should not invite any penal action. In case, the Revenue or the Municipal authorities are of the view that any public property was encroached by the petitioner, they can certainly initiate proceedings in accordance with law. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall not interfere with the activity of the petitioner in replacing the thatched roof with the asbestos sheets on the existing structure. It is also left open to the respondents to take steps in accordance with law, if the petitioner has entered into any public property. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J April 07, 2011 KTL
