HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.21172 of 2008 Date: December 29, 2009 Between: M/s. Vasavi Mutually Aided Cooperative House Building Society Ltd., Regd.No. AMC/VSP/DCO/2004/754, Main Road, Visakhapatnam-1, represented by its Secretary Sri N. Nooka Raju, S/o. late Sri Radha Krishna, residing at D.No.25-12-53, Gangulavari Street, Visakhapatnam-1, and another … Petitioners And State of A.P., represented by its Principal Secretary, Municipal Administration, Secretariat, Hyderabad, and 13 others … Respondents Order: The petitioners seek a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondents 2 to 4 in not reacting to their grievances, against respondents 5 to 14, as illegal and arbitrary. The members of the first petitioner-society and the second petitioner are the owners of a residential complex, by name Vasavi Towers, bearing D.No.58-13-16, situated in Sy.No.27/2A of Butchirajupalem village, within the limits of Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation. In the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is stated that on the rear side of the residential complex in question, the buildings owned by respondents 5 to 12, which are stated to have been leased to respondents 13 and 14, are situated. It is stated that respondents 13 and 14 are using the said buildings as hostels wherein about 500 students are housed and in view of lack of proper drainage system, sullage and drainage water is being let out in the open area, which is passing through the residential complex of the petitioners, resulting in foul smell and health hazards. It is also stated that a notice dated 14-06-2008 has been issued to respondents 5 to 14, bringing to their notice about the aforesaid facts, but no action has been taken. This court on 29-06-2008 issued notice before admission, but, however, no counter affidavit is filed on behalf of the respondents. Whether there is negligence on the part of respondents 13 and 14 in letting out the sullage and drainage water is a matter, which is in the domain of the respondents, and the same has to be examined by them. As it is the grievance of the petitioners that in spite of a notice issued in this regard, no action has been taken, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition permitting the petitioners to submit representation afresh to respondents 2 to 4 within a period of four weeks. On filing such representation, respondents 2 to 4 shall conduct an enquiry, by issuing notice to the affected parties, and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible, preferably within six weeks from the date of receipt of the representation to be submitted by the petitioners. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J December 29, 2009 N.B. Furnish copy in a week B.O. MRR
