Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents. It is not in dispute that the notice dated 23.03.2011 was issued by the Corporation under Sections 452(1) and 461(1) of Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why the alleged unauthorised constructions being made by him in premises bearing No.7-1-480/A, Kummar Basthi, Ameerpet, Hyderabad should not be removed. The petitioner was also called upon to stop the work forthwith. The petitioner states that she had submitted a detailed explanation on 26.03.2011 along with the relevant documents. The grievance of the petitioner is that without considering the said explanation and without passing any order thereupon, the respondents are taking steps to demolish the alleged unauthorised constructions. Learned counsel for the Corporation did not dispute the fact that the petitioner had submitted her explanation dated 26.03.2011. In the circumstances, there shall be a direction to the Corporation to consider the explanation and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Till such time, the Corporation shall not take any steps for demolition of the alleged unauthorised constructions.
