THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.6886 of 2003 ORDER : This Writ Petition is filed by the Bagh Lingampalli Housing Board Colony Residents Association seeking directions by way of Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the first respondent - A.P. Housing Corporation Limited in encroaching upon the existing 15 feet wide open space being used as service lane behind Flats MIG-I, Blocks 12 to 17 of Bagh Lingampalli Housing Board Colony, Hyderabad, as illegal and arbitrary. When there was a dispute regarding the existence of the lane, this Court appointed an Advocate Commissioner on 29-09-2004 to make local inspection and find out whether 15 feet service lane in question is existing or not and submit a report. The Advocate Commissioner submitted the report on 26-10-2004. The relevant portion of the report of the Advocate Commissioner is as under: “It is respectfully submitted that at the site in question i.e., in MIG-I, Blocks 12-17, Bagh Lingampalli, approximately 13 feet width open lane is existing at southern side of the site connecting to eastern side of Sundaraiah park road, which is covered by Shabad Stones and it is said to be used as service lane.” In view of the said report, it cannot be said that the first respondent corporation has encroached on the service lane as alleged by the petitioner. In view of the findings recorded in the report, I do not find any merit in this Writ Petition for grant of any relief. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J. 25th June, 2009. skmr
