THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B. VIJAYSEN REDDY ORDER : (ORAL)

This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking to declare the inaction of respondent Nos.2 and 3 in considering its representation dated 17.07.2025 for not granting permission to respondent No.4 for establishment of meat shop at Sudha Nagar Residential Area, Malkajgiri, Secunderabad, as being illegal and arbitrary.

2. Heard Mr. M. Rathan Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Mr. G. Madhusudhan Reddy, learned standing counsel for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), appearing for respondent Nos.2 and 3.

3. Grievance of the petitioner - association is that representation/objection submitted by them not to grant permission/license to respondent No.4 for establishment of meat shop is not being acted upon. If meat shop is established by respondent No.4, petitioner - association would face health hazards and there will be nuisance regarding foul smell and hygiene.

As the representation dated 17.07.2025 was not acted upon by respondent authorities, the petitioner - association is constrained to approach this Court.

4. Learned standing counsel for the GHMC, appearing for respondent Nos.2 and 3, submitted that appropriate action will be taken on the representation of the petitioner, in accordance with law.

5. Recording the aforesaid submission of the learned standing counsel for the GHMC, appearing for respondent Nos.2 and 3, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent Nos.2 and 3 to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 17.07.2025 for not permitting establishment of meat shop at Sudha Nagar Residential Area, Malkajgiri, Secunderabad, by issuing notice to the petitioner and respondent No.4, by affording opportunity of hearing to them, and pass orders, in accordance with law, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As innocuous relief is sought by the petitioner, notice to respondent No.4 is dispensed with. There shall be no order as to costs.

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