T. Linga Murthy, v. The State Of Telangana, Rep. By Its Secretary,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.15026 of 2016 ORDER:

Heard Sri J. Venkateshwar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, and Smt. Pingali Lakshmi, learned Standing Counsel for the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation.

The prayer of the petitioners in this case is as under: "For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, it is hereby prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to issue a writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of writ of mandamus, to declare the inaction of the Respondents No.1 to 5 in not taking action against the 6th Respondent in pursuance to the representations dt. 31-10-2011, 15-03-2015, 22-06-2015 as illegal, arbitrary and consequently direct the Respondents to complete 40 feet Master Plan Road (Link Road) from 100 feet wide Road to Teacher's Colony situated at Hanmakonda, Warangal District in the interest of justice and to pass such other order or orders may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case."

It appears that the petitioners made representations dated 31.10.2011, 15.03.2015 and 22.06.2015 to the respondent authorities and the same are pending consideration.

In the light of the order proposed to be passed by this Court, there is no necessity to put the unofficial respondent on notice as this Court is not venturing to adjudicate any issue on merits. As the representations dated 31.10.2011, 15.03.2015 and 22.06.2015 made by the petitioners are yet to be acted upon, it is for the authority concerned to apply its mind to the said representations and take action thereon, if warranted, in accordance with the due procedure. In this exercise, the authority would necessarily have to give an opportunity of hearing to all the parties who would be affected by any decision taken upon the petitioners' representations. Adhering

to this procedure, the authority concerned shall duly consider the petitioners' representations dated 31.10.2011, 15.03.2015 and 22.06.2015 and take appropriate action in the matter, if warranted, in accordance with law. This exercise shall be completed expeditiously and in any event, not later than four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

The writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed in the light of this final order. No order as to costs.
