THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.33916 OF 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking to issue Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in attempting to dispossess the petitioners and trying to demolish asbestos sheds in the premises bearing Door Nos. 69-3-15/5s, 69-3-15/5p and 69-3-15/5n, admeasuring 125.33 sq.yards, 117.33 sq.yards and 153.97 sq. yards respectively in Survey No.155/2-6A, situated at Ward No.29B, Block No.69, Ramanayyapeta village within Kakinada Municipal Corporation, Kakinada, East Godavari District, without issuing any notice or initiating proceedings for acquisition of the properties of the petitioners as illegal and arbitrary 2. It is stated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that the petitioners purchased the respective sites from Smt.Kakarla Vara Laxmi under registered sale deeds, dated 27-08-2009. They erected asbestos sheds in their respective properties and the same were assessed to property tax. The petitioners are paying property tax to the Municipal Corporation. Ever since the date of purchase, they are in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the properties without interruption by any body. While things stood thus, the staff of respondent corporation came to the premises on 19-12-2001 and 21-12-2011 and attempted to occupy the sites belonging to the petitioners and remove the temporary asbestos sheds without giving any notice or following due procedure as contemplated under the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955. Hence, the writ petition. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners contended that without following due process of law, the respondents are trying to demolish the asbestos sheds and hence, he prays to issue direction to the respondents. 4. On the other hand, Ms.S.Nageswari, learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent-corporation contended that if the petitioners are not having any permission to construct asbestos sheds, appropriate action would be initiated in accordance with law. 5. The grievance of the petitioners is that they purchased the respective properties by virtue of a registered sale deeds on 27-08-2009 and constructed asbestos sheds in the aforesaid sites. Even assuming for a moment that the petitioners are not having any permission to construct the asbestos sheds, the respondents cannot demolish the same without issuing notice to the petitioners. 6. Therefore, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to take appropriate action, in case, the petitioners are not having any permission to construct asbestos sheds in the premises bearing Door Nos. 69-3-15/5s, 69-3-15/5p and 69-3-15/5n in Survey No.155/2-6A, situated at Ward No.29B, Block No.69, Ramanayyapeta village within Kakinada Municipal Corporation, Kakinada, East Godavari District, after giving notice. Till such time, the asbestos sheds shall not be removed. No costs. --------------------- K.C.BHANU, J DATED: 22-12-2011 Hsd
