2. The instant writ petition has been filed declaring the inaction of the respondent No.1 pursuant to representation dated 01.07.2014 of the petitioners in removing the encroachments on a public road, as arbitrary and unjust and consequently, to direct the respondent No.1 to remove the illegal structures raised by the respondent Nos.2 to 6 over 25 feet public road connecting Nacharam to NFC Road to the property of the petitioners.

3. The brief facts of the case are that petitioner No.1 is a registered company, initially incorporated in Hyderabad Vanaspathi Limited and later it changed to Venkateswara Edusupport Limited, and owned land admeasuring Acs.16.20 guntas in Sy.Nos.617/1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 13 adjacent to Telephone Exchange, Malkajgiri Village and Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, having acquired the same through Certificate of Sale in various company applications and agreement of sales from its predecessors in title and petitioner No.2 entered into lease agreement with the petitioner No.1 apart from having purchased a house property from the petitioner No.1.
