THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.31058 of 2010 ORDER: The Andhra Pradesh Housing Board, the respondents 2 and 3 herein have launched a project, known as ‘Rajiv Swagruha’, for construction of residential flats in the suburbs of cities and towns. One such project was undertaken at Chandanagar of Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. In response to the notification issued by the respondents, the petitioner submitted an application and he was issued a letter of allotment dated 16-04-2008. The General Manager of Chandanagar Division of the 4th respondent-Corporation issued a notice dated 29-06-2010, pointing out that the petitioner has not paid the balance of the cost of the flat, and required him to clear the balance, within 15 days from the date of receipt of the notice, with penal interest at 18% per annum. It was also mentioned that the notice is final, and in case the petitioner does not pay the amount, the allotment will be cancelled. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the same. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. The notice does nothing more than making a demand from the petitioner to pay the balance of the cost of the flat. If the petitioner has any explanation to offer, he can do so, within the stipulated time. The petitioner can be said to have suffered any detriment, if only any orders, adverse to his interests, are passed, after the explanation is submitted. The writ petition does not lie against a show cause notice, unless it is issued by an authority, not vested with the power. It is not even alleged that the 4th respondent has no power to issue a notice. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to approach this Court, in case any orders, adverse to his interests, are passed by the respondents. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.31-01-2011. KO
