THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.14856 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the owners of plot Nos. 4, 5, and 6 admeasuring 202.66 square yards each in survey No.81/A, at Kanteswar Shivar situated in Ward No.6, block No.24, Shastrinagar (Rajivnagar), Nizamabad. Their grievance is that Municipal Corporation Nizamabad, the first respondent herein is trying to lay the road across their plots without initiating any proceedings. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned standing counsel for the respondents. The petitioners, however, placed before this Court, the copies of the documents through which they acquired title. In case the Municipal Corporation needs the plot or any part thereof for the purpose of laying any road, proceedings under Sections 146 and 147 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 have to be initiated. On the other hand, if the Corporation is of the view that the petitioners have encroached into public property, notices under the relevant provisions of law have to be issued. There cannot be any justification to proceed against the petitioners and utilise their properties for public purpose without resorting to the steps indicated above. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the first respondent shall not utilise any portion of the plots owned by the petitioners for public purpose except by initiating proceedings in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt. 03.03.2011 lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 14856 of 2008 Dt. 03.03.2011
