2. Heard Sri P.Shashi Kiran, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri V.Narsimha Goud, learned Standing Counsel for HMDA, Sri B.Shashidhar, learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.3. Perused the record.

3. Brief facts of the affidavit are that the 1^st petitioner is a registered society established for the welfare of plot and house owners in a housing project comprising approximately 300 houses and 80 open plots situated in Survey Nos.410, 411/1, 411/2, 412, 412/AA, 415, 416 and 421 of Turkayamjal Village, Hayathnagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. The 2^nd petitioner is the owner of Plot No.56 and a resident of the said vicinity. The said layout was duly approved and sanctioned by respondent No.2. As per the sanctioned layout, respondent No.3, who is the promoter and developer was obligated to develop various amenities, including a community centre, medical facilities, shopping complex, parks, and other infrastructure for the benefit of the residents, particularly on the open plots specifically earmarked for such purposes. However, respondent No.3 has failed to develop the said amenities and has left them unattended and incomplete till date, for reasons best known to them. As a result, the members of the petitioner association, being residents and owners in the said project, have been deprived of the basic amenities as approved under law. In this regard, the petitioners submitted representations, dated 03.10.2018 and 20.10.2018 to respondent No.2, bringing the issue to its notice and requesting appropriate action under the HMDA Act for development of the approved amenities. The petitioners also requested initiation of criminal proceedings against respondent No.3 and recovery of expenses as incurred by respondent No.2 in providing such amenities. Despite the submission of the said representations in the year 2018, no action has been taken by the respondents till date, and the matter appears to have been ignored. Hence, the petitioners have been constrained to file the present writ petition.

4. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that respondent No.3 has acted in violation of the applicable Government Orders by alienating open plots, earmarked for EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) and LIG (Lower Income Groups), to
