It is stated that the members of the petitioner society purchased different extents of plots in the layout sanctioned in Sai Prakash Nagar by the then Gram Panchayat and had constructed houses and godowns. The layout includes 40 feet public road from Karmanghat Main road to the houses of the members of the petitioner society which is being used by them for the last several years. It is alleged that the respondent No.5 herein had constructed a house encroaching upon 40 feet public road. As the public road leading to the houses of the members of the petitioner society has been blocked, they are put to lot of hardship and therefore the petitioner society made representations dated 11.6.2011 and 13.6.2011 requesting the respondents 2 to 4 to take necessary action for removal of the illegal constructions made by the respondent No.5. Aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the respondents 2 to 4 in considering the petitioner’s request, the present writ petition is filed. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for Municipal Administration appearing for the respondents 1 and 4 and Sri C. Damodar Reddy, the learned counsel appearing for the respondents 2 and 3. The material available on record shows that the representations made by the petitioner were received in the office of the respondents 1 to 4. Hence they are bound to enquire into the alleged illegal constructions made by the respondent No.5 encroaching upon 40 feet width public road and take appropriate action in accordance with law. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion as to the correctness of the allegations made, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents 2 to 4 to consider the representations made by the petitioner dated 11.6.2011 and 13.6.2011 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law after giving an opportunity of hearing to the respondent No.5. Such exercise shall be completed as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Till such time, the respondents 2 to 4 shall ensure that the respondent No.5 does not proceed with any construction contrary to law. Writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _______________ JUSTICE G.ROHINI Dt. 18th July, 2011 Note: Issue CC in three days (B/o) PNV
