HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4768 OF 2011 ORDER: The respondent initiated steps for widening of an existing road within the Municipality. The property of the petitioners, abutting the road, was being affected. Complaining that no notice was issued to the petitioners, they approached this Court by filing Writ Petition No.30889 of 2010. That was disposed of directing the respondent to issue notice under the relevant provisions of law. 2. The respondent issued notice on 11-02-2011 requiring the petitioners to submit objections within three (3) days. The petitioners were required to submit the plans for cellar, ground, first and second floors. It was also alleged that the petitioners constructed steps, bunk and temporary varandahs on the road margin. The petitioners feel aggrieved by the notice. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. 4. The notice refers to a meeting said to have been arranged by the Municipality in the context of widening of the road. Assuming that the petitioners did not raise any objection at that time, they can put forward their contentions in response to the impugned notice. The question as to whether the petitioners have encroached any road margin or whether they are entitled to be paid compensation for the affected portion needs to be considered, depending upon the reply, which the petitioners may submit. Three days time is not sufficient for this purpose. 5. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioners to submit their explanations / representations, within a period of two (2) weeks from today. The respondents shall consider the same before taking any further steps. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J March 01, 2011. KTL
