What the court decided

AI extract

Outcome

None substantive — writ petitions disposed of on recording submissions, merits left undecided; petitioners retain liberty to file afresh if aggrieved by subsequent orders; miscellaneous petitions closed as a sequel; no order as to costs.

Issue for consideration

Whether the notices dated 23.09.2013 issued by the 2nd Respondent (VUDA) — by which the allotment of developed plots to the petitioners was found contrary to established law, rules and regulations, the allotments cancelled, and show cause notice issued including threat of criminal action — are illegal, arbitrary, void and without jurisdiction, and whether the Respondents should be restrained from interfering with the petitioners' possession of the plots.

Court's answer

On merely recording the submissions made, this Court disposed of the entire batch of eleven writ petitions without adjudicating the merits of the challenge to the notices dated 23.09.2013.

Ratio / Principle

It was left open to the petitioners to file afresh if they are aggrieved by the subsequent orders to be passed (pursuant to the show cause notice process / suit for cancellation of sale deeds).

Common Order:-

In all this batch of writ petitions, the petitioners have challenged the notice dated 23.09.2013 issued by the 2^nd respondent, whereby the allotment of developed plots to the petitioners was found to be contrary to the established law, rules and regulations governing the authority.

The 2^nd respondent has stated that the allotments were irregular and that the plots allotted to the petitioners were cancelled. A show cause notice in that regard was issued to the petitioners calling upon them to submit their explanation as to why the allotment of the plots ought not to be cancelled and as to why criminal action ought not to be initiated against them.

The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 2^nd respondent had accepted the request for extension of time for filing a reply to the show cause notice dated 23.09.2013 till 31.10.2013.

A counter has been filed by the 2^nd respondent stating that the petitioners have colluded with the authorities and have not arrayed the necessary parties as respondents, as the subject land was handed over to the 2^nd respondent on 13.02.2007 by one Smt. Omni Pydamma. It is also stated that the 2^nd respondent has identified several irregularities in the allotment of alternate plots and, as such, the respondent authority found it appropriate to cancel the allotments.

Sri S. Ganesh Babu, learned Standing Counsel, submits that the respondent authority has also filed a suit for cancellation of the sale deeds

18

executed in favour of the petitioners and that subsequent orders shall be passed.

Recording the submissions, these writ petitions are disposed of, leaving

it open for the petitioners to file afresh if they are aggrieved by the subsequent

orders. There shall be no order as to costs.

As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
