The Station House Officer, Pendurthy. .. Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.S. NARAYANA W.P.No.16307 of 2006 ORDER: Heard the counsel. The writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents as illegal and ultra vires the provisions of Articles 14 and 300-A of the Constitution of India besides directing not to dispossess/demolish the property of the petitioner situated in S.No.128/3F of Chinnamoshidawada, Pendurthy of Visakhapatnam and to pass such other suitable orders. The main grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are threatening to proceed with the demolition activity without following the due process of law. It is needless to say that the respondents are expected to follow the due process of law before taking up any demolition activity in relation to the subject matter of the writ petition. Several factual details which had been narrated in paras 2, 3 and 4 of the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition need not be dealt with at length in view of the fact that the writ petitioner is complaining of the action of the respondents in proceeding to demolition activity without following the due process of law. In view of the same the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents not to proceed with any demolition activity in relation to the subject matter of the writ petition unless and until they follow the due process of law. No order as to costs. _________________ Justice P.S. Narayana Date : 3-8-2006 Note: Communicate the operative portion of the order by wire at party’s costs. AM
