and learned Standing Counsel for Municipal Corporation, appearing

Ragi Vajramma, in spite of issuing show cause notice dated 23.10.2025 by

respondent No.2, as illegal and arbitrary.

3. Learned Standing Counsel for Municipal Corporation, appearing for respondent No.2, furnished written instructions and submitted that on complaint of the petitioner, Show Cause Notice, dated 23.10.2025 was issued to respondent No.4 seeking explanation as to why the unauthorized construction of compound wall shall not be demolished, within seven (7) days. Respondent No.4 submitted his

explanation stating that his paternal aunt, Smt. Ragi Vajramma inherited agricultural land in Sy.No.272/2 to an extent of Ac.5-00 gts, situated at Kothapalli, Karimnagar and some of the family members of Sri Jangapally Rajaih are interfering with their possession on the pretext of fake sale deeds. It is further stated that recently, the family members of Sri Jangapally Rajaih started interfering with the possession of respondent No.4

4. Learned Standing Counsel further stated that on verification of the office records and explanation of respondent No.4, it was noticed that earlier permission granted was elapsed and that respondent No.4 started constructing new compound wall opposite to Medical Hospital in Sy.No.272/2, Kothapalli Haveli, Karimnagar. It was confirmed that the compound wall being constructed by respondent No.4 is unauthorised. In the meanwhile, the aunt of respondent No.4 filed W.P.No.34149 of 2025 herein, in which an interim order has been passed. It is stated that pursuant to the orders passed by the High Court in the aforesaid Writ Petition, speaking orders will be issued under Section 178 (2) and (8) of Telangana Municipalities Act, 2019 to respondent No.4 by duly conducting enquiry and considering his explanation.

5. In the light of the written instructions and submissions made by learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.2, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.2 to pass orders pursuant to Show Cause Notice, dated 23.10.2025, by affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent No.4 and all other concerned/interested persons, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

6. As this order is passed without entering into the merits, notice to respondent No.4 is dispensed with. However, if respondent No.4 is aggrieved by this order, he is at liberty to approach this Court seeking modification of this order. There shall be no order as to costs.

As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous applications, if any, pending in the writ petition stand closed.
