The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Writ Petition No.2441 of 2005 Order: In this Writ Petition, the petitioner seeks direction, by way of Mandamus, to the respondents to forbear from demolishing the structure and compound wall in premises bearing No.16-5-398/4, situated at Khidiki Bood Ali Saheb, Dabeerpura, Hyderabad. In the affidavit, filed in support of the Writ Petition, it is stated that the petitioner is the owner and possessor of the premises bearing No.16-5-398/4, situated at Khidiki Bood Ali Saheb, Dabeerpura, Hyderabad. It is further stated that the said property falls in Survey No.106 and that when one Jafery Begum, who is the sister of the petitioner’s husband, was trying to trespass and occupy the land surrounding the said house, she constructed a compound wall to safeguard the said property and later on, obtained interim injunction against her vide I.A.No.1797 of 2003 in O.S.No.7888 of 2004 on the file of the II Junior Civil Judge, City Civil, Court, Hyderabad. It is the grievance of the petitioner that the respondents-authorities are taking steps for demolition of the said compound wall without issuing any notice. Counter-affidavit is filed by the second respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, Charminar, Hyderabad Division. In the counter, while generally denying various allegations made by the petitioner, it is stated that the petitioner has no title or possession over the premises bearing No.16-5-398/4, which is alleged to have been situated in Survey No.106 of Talabchanchalam Village, and that the said land is recorded as graveyard in the revenue records. It is further stated that when the petitioner was trying to construct open wall in Survey No.107/1 of Talabchanchalam Village, they issued Memo, dated 15th January, 2005, directing the Surveyor to stop the said illegal construction. Whether the structures raised by the petitioner are in Survey No.106 or 107 is a matter, which needs to be decided after putting the petitioner on notice. A perusal of Memo, dated 15th January, 2005, does not indicate issuance of any prior notice to the petitioner. Therefore, without issuing notice to the petitioner, respondents- authorities could not have taken steps to demolish the structures raised by the petitioner. In view of the same, I dispose of the Writ Petition directing the respondents to issue notice to the petitioner and take steps in accordance with law, if it is found that she made any unauthorized constructions. No order as to costs. _________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J Dated 8th December, 2009 lur
