PETITIONERS AND

1. The State of Telangana rep. by its Revenue Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad, and others.

RESPONDENTS

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P. NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.29255 of 2015 ORDER:

Petitioners claim to be the owners and possessors of plots bearing Nos.128, 129, 131 and 132 situated in Sy.Nos.68/1 to 7 of Ramanthapur Uppal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. They intend to construct a compound wall to protect their properties from illegal encroachment. Therefore, the petitioners submitted representation 28.05.2015 to the Deputy Commissioner Circle-II, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad, seeking to grant permission to fence their plots, which were already demarcated by the Assistant Director of Survey and Land Records. Alleging that so far no permission is granted and no orders are passed on the said representation, the present writ petition is filed. When the matter is taken up for consideration, Sri P.

Krishna Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for respondents 4 and 5 pointed out that in accordance with the provisions under Section 428 r/w Section 2(3) of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act (for short 'the Act') even for construction of compound wall permission has to be obtained. He also submitted that the respondents have not received any such application from the petitioners.

Learned counsel for the petitioners fairly submits that no application as required under the provisions of the Act is made by the petitioners. He seeks liberty to the petitioners to make application as required with a direction to the respondent-GHMC to consider the same expeditiously as and when the same is filed.

Having regard to the said submissions, the writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioners to submit appropriate application as warranted by law to construct compound wall around the subject plots. It is needless to observe that as and when such application is filed by complying due formalities, the respondent-GHMC shall consider the same as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of such applications.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. No order as to costs.
