THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.22293 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner is a Co-operative Housing Society Limited, representing Adimavasies (Yerukalas), of Saidabad area. A lay-out was submitted by the Society in the year 1987, in respect of the land in Sy.Nos.226 and 227 of Saidabad Revenue Village, admeasuring Ac.3.12 guntas. As required under the relevant bye-laws, roads and open space were left. The petitioner states that an area of about 1,000 sq.yards was left for the purpose of park and community hall. The petitioner submitted an application to the 1st respondent, with a request to accord permission to construct a community hall in the open space, over an area of 300 sq.yards. The same was rejected on the ground that the entire place of 1,000 sq.yards is earmarked for park alone, and that community hall cannot be constructed thereon. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the same. The 1st respondent filed a counter-affidavit, stating that though in the lay-out submitted by the petitioner, the open space of 1,000 sq.yards was meant for park and community hall, the lay-out was sanctioned insisting that the land shall be put to the use of park alone. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Municipal Administration, and learned Standing Counsel for the Municipal Corporation. The petitioner is under the impression that the open space left by it, in the middle of the lay-out, is meant for park and community hall. In fact, that was mentioned in the lay-out. However, while approving the lay-out, the Municipal Corporation struck off the words ‘and community hall’. In addition to that, in bold letters ‘PARK’ was written, referable to the entire open space. As long as this situation stands, the petitioner cannot be permitted to construct the community hall. If the petitioner is so advised, it can submit an application for revised lay-out, or seek change of land use, from the Government. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to seek change of land use, or revision of lay-out, and thereafter renew its application. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.03-03-2011. KO
