Petitioner claims to be the owner of the plot bearing No.14 in Sy.No.116/4-1 situated at Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. He obtained sanction from the first respondent-Corporation for construction of three shops in the said plot. Thereafter, the Corporation acquired an extent of 1073 square yards of land in the said plot, in two different stages (650 + 423 square yards), from the petitioner for the purpose of widening the road. Subsequently, after negotiations, the Corporation fixed compensation for the land acquired from the petitioner, but the petitioner did not give consent for the same, being not satisfied with the quantum of compensation. Later, petitioner, by letter dated 08.09.1998, requested the City Planner, Circle No.5, for sanction for constructing shops in the remaining land in Plot No.14, but the same was rejected, by letter dated 22.10.1988, on the ground that the proposals are in violation of Zoning Regulations of 1981. Questioning the same, petitioner filed W.P.No.17592 of 1988, and the said writ petition was disposed of by a Division Bench of this Court on 22.11.1996. Aggrieved thereby, the first respondent carried the matter to the Supreme Court and raised an objection that the application made by the petitioner did not specifically indicate the land over which he proposed to raise construction. Therefore, petitioner sought permission of the Supreme Court for filing fresh application indicating the extent of land over which he proposed to make construction, and accordingly, the Civil Appeal was dismissed as infructuous, and the judgment of the Division Bench was also set aside. Petitioner is stated to be pursuing for sanction of the plan.
