THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.NOs.32819, 32820, 32821 & 32822 OF 2010 W.P.No.32819/2010 BETWEEN : Pysa Samuel …... PETITIONER And The Warangal Municipal Corporation, Warangal, Warangal District, Rep. by its Commissioner, Warangal District. …....RESPONDENT Counsel for the petitioner: Sri K.V. Bhanu Prasad Counsel for the respondent: Sri C.V. Bhaskar Reddy The Court made the following. ORDER: On the consent of both the counsel representing for the petitioner and respondent as well, these writ petitions are disposed of at the admission stage. The petitioners are claiming to be the tenants in occupation of the shops belonging to the respondent-corporation. It is stated that they are now paying monthly rent of @ Rs.3,600/- per month. Their lease is valid till 31.12.2010. They claim that they have been tenants for quite a long time. The agreement entered into inter alia provides that the rent shall be enhanced at 33.13% on the existing rent once in every three years and the same should be paid irrespective of any demand. Placing reliance on the said agreement, the petitioners plead that they are entitled for extension of lease for a further period of three years on payment of enhanced rate of rent at 33.13%. Since the respondent showed its disinclination to extend the lease and put the leasehold rights for auction, the petitioners have filed these writ petitions to declare the proposal of the respondent to evict them without considering the representations filed by them for renewal of leases in their favour. There is no dispute that the petitioners have been tenants in respect of the shops allotted to them and they have been paying the rents as per the agreement. The petitioners being the tenants for a considerably long time submit that they are depending on the shops in dispute for their livelihood and the respondent having regard to the terms of agreement ought to have extended the leases by accepting the enhanced rent. This Court is not inclined to express its opinion on the merits of the case, but as represented by both the counsel, it is appropriate that on petitioners submitting fresh representations making out their grievances before the respondent herein, the respondent can be directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders. Therefore the petitioners are permitted to make fresh representations making their grievances for extension of lease for the period beyond 31.12.2010 within a period of 10 days from today and on such representations being filed, the respondent shall consider and pass appropriate orders having due regard to the circumstances pleaded by the petitioners as early as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of such applications. The petitioners shall not be evicted from their respective shops until final decision is taken on their representations subject to the condition of the petitioners paying rents at enhanced rate. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 28th December, 2010 Js.
