HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B. VIJAYSEN REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24427 OF 2025 ORDER : (ORAL)

This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking to declare the action of respondent Nos. 2 and 3, in hurriedly threatening to demolish her residential building and forestalling her rights in seeking legal remedies, as being unjust, contrary to law and violative of Articles 14, 21 and 300-A of the Constitution of India, and consequently, to direct respondent Nos.2 and 3 not to demolish the structures made in the subject property.

2. Heard Mr. Mayur Mundra, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Mr. G. Madhusudhan Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, appearing for respondent Nos.2 and 3, and perused the material available on record.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the speaking order dated 02.07.2025 was passed directing the petitioner to remove unauthorized construction consisting of Ground+2 upper floors in premises bearing H.No.2-64/1/9/D situated at Gopanpally Village, Serilingampally Mandal. The speaking order was challenged by preferring Municipal Appeal No.66 of 2025 before the Chief Judge, City Small Causes Courts at Hyderabad, under Section 654 read with Section 655 of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 (for short, ‘the Act’). In the said appeal, application in I.A.No.930 of 2025 was filed seeking interim suspension of the speaking order dated 02.07.2025. The said application came to be dismissed on 04.08.2025. The petitioner is yet to receive the certified copy of the dismissal order dated 04.08.2025. As against the order passed by the Chief Judge, City Small Causes Courts, Hyderabad, there is further remedy of appeal under Section 656 of the Act to the High Court. As certified copy of the dismissal order is not issued so far, the petitioner is disabled in filing the appeal and there is threat of demolition.

4. Considering that the certified copy of the dismissal order dated 04.08.2025 in IA No. 930 of 2025 in M.A.No.66 of 2025 passed by the Chief Judge, City Small Causes Courts, Hyderabad, has not been issued to the petitioner so far, in the interest of justice, respondents Nos.2 and 3 are directed not to take any coercive steps for demolition of the building in premises bearing H.No.2-64/1/9/D/4 (GHMC PTI No. 1119916003), admeasuring 95 square yards, situated at Gopanpally Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Rangareddy District, for a period of three (03) weeks from today. Notice to respondent No.4 is dispensed with. However, if respondent No.4 has any grievance regarding this order, he is at liberty to seek modification of this order.

5. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.

As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition stand closed.
