The petitioners sought for a consequential direction to the respondents not to proceed with the demolition of their house. Even though notice was taken on behalf of the respondents, by Dr.Y.Padmavathy, learned Standing Counsel for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (for short ‘the Corporation), at the stage of admission, no one represented the respondents today at the hearing, A perusal of the proceeding sheet shows that the learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation has made a representation on 07-10-2011 that the petitioners are raising construction encroaching on the open space of the Corporation, which submission was denied by the learned Counsel for the petitioners. The learned Standing Counsel further stated that the Corporation will follow due process of law before seeking to demolish the building constructed by the petitioners. In view of the above-statement made by the learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents to follow due process of law, in the event it is found that the petitioners have encroached on the Corporation’s land and raised a construction. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, interim order, dated 07-10-2011, is vacated and WPMP.No.34108 of 2011 is disposed of. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 19th October, 2011 LUR
