2. Mr. Srinivas Rao Pachwa, learned standing counsel for the

respondent - GHMC, based on written instructions, submitted that

on the representation submitted by the Mohammadia Masjid

Khabrastan Committee, GHMC has taken up the work of

construction of a compound wall and filling the gravel at

Mohammadia Masjid Khabrastan, located beside Rajiv Gandhi Nagar

in Ward No.11, Nagole. The Zonal Commissioner, L.B. Nagar Zone,

accorded administrative sanction on 04.11.2025 for execution of

the said work, for an estimated amount of Rs.11 Lakhs and the

work was entrusted to a contractor. Mark-out of the site was given

to the executing agency for commencement of work. During the

process of levelling the ground, the work was obstructed and

stopped by the members of the Hindu Graveyard. In view of the

dispute, the work was stopped. Meanwhile, the petitioners

approached this Court objecting the proposed construction of

compound wall between the Muslim and Hindu graveyards.

3. Learned standing counsel further submitted that in view of

the objections raised and in order to avoid any dispute and possible

law and order issues, a letter was addressed to the Town Planning

Wing and the ACP, Hayathnagar, Circle-3, seeking clarification

regarding the land ownership details, as to whether the subject land

is Government land or private land and also requested proper

demarcation of the boundaries of the Hindu and Muslim graveyards

3

at Mohammadia Masjid Khabrastan. The land status and boundary

demarcation report is still awaited from the Town Planning Wing.

He submitted that upon receipt of the report, the demarcation of

Muslim and Hindu graveyards will be done and boundary will be

fixed and thereafter, compound wall construction will be taken up

by following due process of law.

4. As it is stated that the construction of compound wall has

been stopped and the report of the Town Planning Wing is awaited,

recording the same, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction

to the respondents No.3 and 4 not to undertake any work without

putting the petitioners on notice, by affording opportunity of

hearing to the petitioners and by furnishing copy of the Town

Planning Wing.

The miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand

closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
