HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27980 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have erected a wooden bunk on the Kachiguda Station Road, opposite to Mahaveer Hotel (old Tourist Home) way back in the year 1977. It is also said to have been assigned municipal number being 3-2-849. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents 1 and 2 are trying to remove the bunk at the instance of the third respondent. The petitioner stated various facts relating to the construction of the third respondent hotel and their alleged attempts to occupy the covered nala. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents 1 and 2. The Corporation is, no doubt, conferred with the power to clear encroachments on the roads or pavements. In case the petitioner is found to have encroached any lane or pavement, the respondents 1 and 2 are under obligation to issue notice before any action is taken. The petitioner asserts that no such notice was issued. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the respondents 1 and 2 shall not remove or otherwise interfere with the bunk installed by the petitioner without following the procedure prescribed by law. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J 22nd December, 2009 SKM
