JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) One Sri Sharif Iqbal Hussain
Ahmad, petitioner herein filed this writ
petition seeking a writ of mandamus directing
the official respondent Nos.1 to 3 to restrain
the un-official respondent No.4 from
constructing the first floor on the premises
bearing No. 11-40-2 situated at Pulaparthi
Street, Vijayawada, which is in violation of
the zoning regulations and municipal bye-laws and to pass any other order or orders in
the interest of justice.
(2.) This Court by order dated 13-5-1997
while admitting the writ petition,
passed an order in WP MP No. 12885 of
1995 directing the 4th respondent to stop
further construction. This Court also passed
orders in WPMP No. 12886 of 1997 directing
the Commissioner, Vijayawada, Guntur and
Tenali Urban Development Authority (herein
after referred to as UDA) to see that the unofficial 4th respondent does not violate the
regulations or the building bye-laws. In
WPMP No. 12885 of 1985, as per the
orders of this Court, it is seen that notice to
the 4th respondent seemed to have been
issued and when the said WPMP came up
for hearing on 27-6-1997, the learned
Counsel for the petitioner brought to the
notice of this Court that inspite of the orders
passed by this Court, dated 13-5-1997, the
4th respondent is going ahead with the
construction work and the 3rd respondent is
not able to curtail the 4th respondent from
making further constructions. In those
circumstances, this Court by order dated
27-6-1997 directed the 3rd respondent to
report this Court about the stage of
construction within a period of one week
from the date of receipt of a copy of the
order and also directed the concerned
police including the Commissioner of Police,
Vijayawada to give effect to the orders of
this Court dated 13-5-1997 and prevent the
4th respondent from making any kind of
further construction and if the 4th respondent
is found violating the said order, suitable
action will be taken.
(3.) From the counter of the 3rd
respondent it is seen that he seemed to have
sent a report to this Court on 5-7-1997,
wherein he stated that the 4th respondent
has constructed ground floor and first floor
and the same was completed except finishing
work like flooring, etc., in the 1st floor.
The ground floor was let out for shops but
not yet been occupied. He also stated that
the UDA granted permission for conversion
of the tiled roof as per the orders of the
Government in G.O. Rt. No. 199 MA, dated
8-2-1995 where under certain zoning
regulations were relaxed in favour of the
4th respondent.;
