THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 3471 of 2009 Oral order: The admitted case of the petitioner is that he has encroached upon a piece of land that is lying vacant to his plot, and that even before his representation dated 30.04.2008 for regularization of the said piece of land in terms of G.O. Ms. No. 166, dated 16.02.2008, is regularized by the Government, he constructed a house therein without obtaining permission from respondent No.1-GHMC. The learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of respondent No.1-GHMC submitted that the petitioner made constructions in the encroached land after submitting representation dated 30.04.2008 for regularization, and after expiry of the last date, namely 15.07.2008, fixed for making applications for regularization of illegal constructions, and as such, the benefit of G.O. Ms. No. 166, dated 16.02.2008 cannot be extended to the said illegal constructions made by the petitioner. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1-GHMC and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue for respondent No.2. Admittedly, as of now, respondent No.1 has not issued any notice to the petitioner for removal/demolition of the illegal constructions made by him, and if respondent No.1-GHMC intends to demolish the illegal constructions made by the petitioner, they shall issue notice to him, and after considering the explanation, if any, to be submitted by him, pass appropriate order and take appropriate action in terms of such order. However, till such time, status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained by the parties. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________ N.V. RAMANA, J.
