Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.RAGHUVEER REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: M.DHANANJAY REDDY(SC FOR HUDA) The Court made the following : O R D E R: This Writ Petition has been filed by the petitioners who are four in number assailing the inaction of respondents 1 to 3 on their representations dated 11.02.2008 and 26.7.2008. The petitioners purchased Ac.0-38 guntas of land in Survey No.19 situated at Guttala Begumpet village, Serilingampalli Mandal, R.R. District under three different sale deeds from P.Venkaiah and his sons during the years 1995 to 2006. Prior to their purchase, their vendor P.Venkaiah and his sons on 24.9.1992 have submitted an application for sanction of lay out to the 1st respondent. The 1st respondent under proceedings dated 19.11.1993 sanctioned tentative lay out by stipulating certain conditions. The vendors of the petitioners failed to comply with the conditions and consequently draft lay out came to be cancelled on 19.3.1997. Since the draft lay out has been cancelled, 3rd respondent has cancelled the gift deed executed by P.Venkaiah and his sons, who are the vendors of the petitioners. The petitioners submitted representations for execution of cancellation deeds. Their representation remained unattended. Hence, they chose to invoke the jurisdiction of this court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. When the writ petition came up for admission learned Standing Counsel of HUDA received notice for R1 and learned Standing Counsel of GHMC received notice on behalf of 2nd and 3rd respondents. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondents 1 to 3. Learned Standing Counsel appearing for 1st respondent submits that the 1st respondent addressed a letter to Zonal Commissioner, South Zone, GHMC, Serilingampally, R.R. District, Hyderabad to examine the feasibility of complying the representations of the petitioners. Once the draft lay out is cancelled, gift deed executed by the vendors of the petitioners in respect of open places is required to be released. In that view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to consider the representations of the petitioners keeping in view the letter No.Lr.No.10311/Misc/CC/CDA/08, dated 20.8.2008 of Cyberabad Development Authority to the Zonal Commissioner, South Zone, GHMC, Serilingampally, R.R. District, Hyderabad and pass appropriate orders within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 21st August, 2008.
