HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.23684 of 2011 Date : 29-8-2011 Between: M/s. Platinum Avenues Pvt. Ltd. Represented by its Managing Director, Hyderabad .. Petitioner And Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Represented by its Commissioner, Hyderabad and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri L.Ravichander for Sri Adesh Varma Counsel for respondents : Sri C. Damodar Reddy The Court made the following: ORDER: Feeling aggrieved by notice in Lr.No.28/ACP/TPS/C9/GHMC/2010, dated 18-8-2011 whereby respondent No.3 has directed the petitioner to show cause within three days as to why the constructions in the parking area shall not be removed, failing which the same shall be removed by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) under Section 461-A of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 (for short "the Act"), the petitioner filed this Writ Petition. It is the case of the petitioner that the alleged office and saloon are being run in the space left over after leaving sufficient place for parking. Sri C. Damodar Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for GHMC submitted that the impugned proceedings are in the nature of a show cause notice and that the Writ Petition is premature. A perusal of the impugned proceedings shows that the same is styled as a show cause notice and the petitioner is called upon to show cause within three days as to why the constructions in the parking area shall not be removed. Sri L.Ravichander, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that in response to the impugned show cause notice, the petitioner has submitted its objections on 20-8-2011. As rightly pointed out by the learned Standing Counsel, the impugned proceedings are in the nature of a show cause notice and that as the petitioner has already submitted its objections, it is not necessary for this court to adjudicate upon the issues raised by it, on merits. Instead, respondent No.3 is directed to consider the petitioner’s objections, if received, pass an appropriate order and communicate the same to it. Till this process is completed, no coercive steps for removal of the alleged constructions in the parking area shall be taken. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel, WPMP No.29022/2011 is dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy Date : 29-8-2011 AM
