IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SUDDALA CHALAPATHI RAO WRIT PETITION No.24207 of 2013 DATE: 07.04.2026 Between:

Smt. K. Bharathi.

…Petitioner AND The Commissioner, Nagar Panchayat, Huzurabad, Karimnagar District and another.

…Respondents

O R D E R:

This writ petition has been filed seeking to declare the action of respondent No.1 in not restraining respondent No.2 in proceeding with the construction illegally without obtaining any valid permission, as illegal and arbitrary; and consequently to direct respondent No.1 to grant permission of construction to respondent No.2 only after verifying the boundaries of the plots and link documents.

2. Heard Sri K.Vasudeva Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri Krishna Reddy Putta, learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondent No.1 and perused the record.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that despite rejection of building permission and without there being any valid building permission, respondent No.2 is proceeding with the construction in the plot of the petitioner. As such, the petitioner has made several representations to respondent No.1 seeking action against respondent No.2, however, no action has been taken. He would further contend that though respondent No.1 has not sanctioned any permission in favour of respondent No.2, he is permitting respondent No.2 to proceed with the construction. Aggrieved thereby, the present writ petition has been filed.

4. On the other hand, learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondent No.1 would submit that in the event respondent No.2 is carrying out construction without obtaining any valid building permission, necessary action will be taken in accordance with the provisions of the Telangana Municipalities Act, 2019 (for short, ‘Act 2019’), by issuing appropriate notice calling for explanation and also affording an opportunity to file her objections.

5. In that view of the matter, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing respondent No.1 to follow the due process of law envisaged under the provisions of the Act, 2019 and verify whether the construction undertaken by respondent No.2 has been carried out with valid building permission and if it is found that no such permission has been obtained, respondent No.1 shall take appropriate action strictly in accordance with law.

6. With the said observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of.

There shall be no order as to costs.

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