G.J. Lousie W/O. K.N.Prakasham v. The State Of Telangana , Rep. By Its

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C. PRAVEEN KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 22336 of 2016 ORDER:

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri P.Keshava Rao, learned Standing Counsel for G.H.M.C. With consent the writ petition is taken up for disposal at the admission stage itself. The present writ petition came to be filed with the following prayer:

"Issuance of writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in trying to dispossess/demolish the petitioner's house bearing municipal No.1-7-509/2 situated at Harinagar, Zamistanpur, Hyderabad, as illegal, arbitrary and violative of principles of natural justice; and consequently direct the respondents not to demolish the said house."

The grievance of the petitioner appears to be that without considering the reply given by the petitioner on 03.06.2016 to the notice dated 21.05.2016 the authorities are taking steps for demolition of the house.

Learned Standing Counsel for the G.H.M.C. submits that no action would be taken till appropriate orders are passed on the reply dated 03.06.2016.

Recording the statement made by the learned Standing Counsel and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the third respondent not to take any coercive steps till appropriate orders are passed on the reply dated 03.06.2016 made by the petitioner. It is

needless to mention that the authorities shall pass appropriate orders on the said reply in accordance with law, as early as possible, preferably, within a period of four (04) weeks from today.

No order as to costs.

Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed.
