Yada Jyothi, v. The State Of Telangana

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.12541 of 2016 ORDER:

Heard Sri Ravulapati Sreenivasa Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri N. Praveen Kumar, learned Standing Counsel for the Kodad Municipality.

The prayer of the petitioner in this case is as under: "For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit that it is prayed that the Hon'ble Court may be pleased to issue an appropriate Writ, Order or Direction, more particularly one in the nature of WRIT OF MANDAMUS, declaring the action the Respondent No. 2 in issuance of demand bill dated 03-12-2015 as illegal, arbitrary and violative of the rights guaranteed under the Constitution of India and consequently set aside the same and to pass such other order or orders as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the interest of justice."

Though the petitioner is aggrieved by the demand notice dated 03.12.2015 issued by the municipal authorities, she has not even chosen to file a representation before them or prefer a revision under the statutory rules.

Without first approaching the authorities concerned, it is not open to the petitioner to straightaway approach this Court by way of a writ petition.

The writ petition is accordingly dismissed on this short ground. This order shall however not preclude the petitioner from approaching the municipal authorities for redressal of her grievance in accordance with law.

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