THE HON’BLE SMT. JUSTICE T. MADHAVI DEVI

WRIT PETITION No.21973 of 2025

ORDER

This Writ Petition is filed seeking Writ of Certiorari to call

for the records and quash the order bearing No.03/GPRPT/2025 dated 10.07.2025 passed by respondent No.6 revoking the house

permission granted in favour of the petitioner.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was granted construction permission vide proceedings No.351/BP/2024 dated 20.09.2024 to construct a house in Sy.No.615 admeasuring 167.44 square yards situated at Police Station Area, Ramannapet Village and Mandal, Yadadri Bhuvanagiri District, and he has accordingly made the construction and thereafter, a notice dated 12.03.2025 was issued to the petitioner requiring him to stop the construction activity. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner thereafter made a representation dated 08.04.2025 and without considering the same, the impugned order dated 10.07.2025 has been passed revoking the building permission granted in favour of the

petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submitted that the impugned order was passed without giving any prior notice and is therefore in violation of the principles of natural justice.

3. Sri K. Pradeep Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for Gram Panchayat, appearing for respondents No.5 & 6, submitted that a notice has been issued to the petitioner and the petitioner also submitted his explanation and it is only thereafter that the impugned order has been passed. Learned Standing Counsel further submitted that there is a provision of appeal before the District Collector-respondent No.2 and that the petitioner has approached this Court without availing the said alternative remedy. 4. Having regard to the rival contentions and the material on record, this Court finds that the petitioner has challenged the impugned order on the ground of violation of principles of natural justice and on perusal of the impugned order, it is noticed that though there is a reference to the notice dated 12.03.2025, respondent No.6 has neither referred to the same in the subjective portion nor stated that no explanation was submitted by the petitioner. Further, the notice dated 12.03.2025 does not pertain to the revocation of the construction permission granted in favour of the petitioner. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner has referred to an explanation dated 08.04.2025 submitted by the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel has rightly pointed out that the said explanation/representation was not addressed to respondent No.6, but was addressed to District Panchayat Officer-respondent No.3 and the Revenue Divisional Officer and as the copy of the said representation was not marked to the Panchayat Secretary- respondent No.6, there was no occasion for respondent No.6 to consider it. In view of the above facts and circumstances, this Court is inclined to set aside the impugned order dated 10.07.2025 issued by respondent No.6 and grant liberty to the petitioner to submit a fresh representation within a period of one (01) week from the date of receipt of the copy of this order. Respondent No.6 shall thereafter consider the same and pass appropriate orders, after issuing notices to all the affected parties, if necessary. Respondent No.6 is also at liberty to issue a fresh notice and take further action in accordance with law.

5. With the above directions, this Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

6. Miscellaneous applications, if any, pending in this Writ Petition, shall stand closed.
