FOR COOPERATION The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.21342 OF 2000 ORDER: Though interlocutory applications are listed, having regard to the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the Writ Petition itself is being disposed of finally. It is the case of the petitioner that he purchased plot No.114 admeasuring 266.66 Sq.yards in East Marredpally in a public auction conducted by Income Tax Department on 21.3.1984. He alleged that first respondent Corporation is making attempts to lay plots for construction of dwelling houses under Urban Permanent Housing Programme at Azad Chandrasekhar Nagar, East Marredpally, as a result of which the existing road which forms part of the lay out would be removed and the petitioner would be denied access to the plot and making his plot useless. Therefore, he filed the Writ Petition seeking a declaration that the action of the first respondent Corporation in constructing houses under the relevant scheme is illegal and arbitrary. In the counter affidavit filed by the District Manager of A.P.State Housing Corporation it is stated that by implementing the scheme the same would not cause any prejudice to the petitioner nor he would be deprived of his property. Be that as it is, the learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri Ragurveer Reddy submits that first respondent has agreed to allot alternate land to the petitioner as the construction of dwelling houses under the scheme is already completed. Therefore, the petitioner wants to pursue the remedy with first respondent. The petitioner may approach the first respondent for redressal. With the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 24.8.2004 bnr To 1 The Vice Chairman (Managing Director)/ Chair Person, A.P.Urban Development & Housing Corporation O/o.Collectorate, Nampally Station Road, Hyderabad 2 The District Manager, A.P.Urban Development & Housing Corporation O/o.Collectorate, Nampally Station Road, Hyderabad 3 The Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad, Tank Bund Road, Hyderabad 4 The Project Officer, Housing, UCD, Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad, Tank Bund Road, Hyderabad 5 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Secunderabad Division, Secunderabad 6. 2 CCs to the G.P. for Cooperation, High Court Bldgs., Hyderabad (OUT) 7 2 CD copies.
