IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE D.S.R. VARMA And THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 15228 OF 2006 Dated: 25th July, 2006 Between: Dr. Gautham Murthy Petitioner AND The Chief Medical Officer, Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad, Secunderabad Division, Secunderabad, and others Respondents ORAL ORDER: (Per the Hon’ble Sri Justice D.S.R.Varma) This writ petition is taken up on the complaint made by one Dr.Goutham Murthy, Associate Professor of Economics, to the Hon’ble the Chief Justice of this court, complaining that he is a resident of Chikoti Gardens, Begumpet Hyderabad, that the residents of the colony are dumping the entire colony garbage close to his house, all the day, which is emanating foul smell, causing a lot of inconvenience and also health hazard. Evidently, from the very nature of the complaint, it appears that the petitioner is complaining about his grievance and no interest of the general public is highlighted. Hence, it has to be treated as litigation in the personal interest of the petitioner. However, the concerned municipal authority is directed to take necessary steps in dissuading the public from dumping the garbage at a place other than the place identified for the purpose. Therefore, the concerned authorities shall identify a place for dumping garbage, which does not cause inconvenience to any of the residents of that locality and the same shall be removed from time to time with due promptitude. With these observations, the writ petition is closed. No order as to costs. ______________ D.S.R.Varma, J. ________________ P.Swaroop Reddy, J July 25, 2006 MAS.
