IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA AT HYDERABAD
SUREPALLI NANDA, SREENIVAS RAO
K. Ranga Reddy – Appellant
Versus
State of Telangana – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
(Surepalli Nanda, J.)
Heard Sri M. Damodhar Reddy, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant/petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Municipal Administration and Urban Development appearing on behalf of respondent No.1, Sri Krishna Reddy Putta, learned Standing Counsel for respondent Nos.2 & 3 and Smt. Ch. Vijaya Laxmi, learned counsel appearing on behalf of unofficial respondent No.4.
PERUSED THE RECORD:-
2. The present writ appeal is filed by the appellant seeking prayer as under:-
“…to allow the Writ Appeal by setting aside the order dated 02.05.2025 in W.P.No.9273 of 2025 passed by the Learned Single Judge and continue the earlier status-quo order dated 26.03.2025 in WP No.9273/2005 as it is, and pass…”
3. The appellant in the present Writ Appeal is the petitioner in W.P.No.9273 of 2025 and the said W.P. had been filed seeking prayer as under:-
“…..to issue an order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the 2nd respondent in issuing the impugned order dated 10/03/2025 in file No. 10/RDMA/A1/2025 and consequential notice of demolition issued by the 3rd respondent Municipality in file No. G1/67/2024 dated 18
The court emphasized the necessity of proper adjudication and the presence of counter affidavits before vacating a status quo order regarding property demolition.
A writ petition challenging local authority actions is not maintainable when alternative statutory remedies are available, especially if a related appeal is pending.
An order affecting a person's rights is effective only when communicated, starting the limitation period from that date, not the date of the order itself.
The court ruled that demolition orders must follow due process and should only be executed if significant public interest is at stake, emphasizing the right to appeal.
