THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 1727 of 2010 Between: Md. Nayeemuddin & another …… Petitioners and Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Rep. by the Commissioner and Special Officer, Hyderabad & another ….. Respondents O R D E R: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri R. Radha Krishna Reddy, the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioners claim to be the owners and possessors of the house bearing Old No. 42-84 (new No. 42-861) in 457 square yards situated in Bagh-e-Hydari, Old Moula-Ali Village, Malkajgiri Municipality Division, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents have been pressurizing them to give consent and part with the said property for the purpose of laying a road. On instructions, the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents submits that the property in question is required for the purpose of laying a road and proposals to acquire the same were sent to the Government and that the respondents never insisted the petitioners either to give consent or part with the property. In view of the same and inasmuch as the property of the petitioners is not yet notified for the purpose of acquisition, I direct the respondents not to obtain the consent of the petitioners forcibly to part with their property. However, it is made clear that if the property in question or any part thereof is required for any public purpose, this order will not preclude the respondents to take steps for acquisition of the same, in accordance with the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ---------------------------- (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) 4th February 2010 ksld
