Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

High Court for the State of Telangana (Special Original Jurisdiction), single-member bench of Smt. Justice T. Madhavi Devi; Writ Petition No.20241 of 2025, decided 17-07-2025. Mahabub Ali (petitioner) challenged as illegal and arbitrary the inaction of respondent No.3, the Additional Collector (LB), Narayanpet, in not acting on the enquiry report dated 29.01.2024 given by respondent No.4, the Divisional Panchayat Officer, Narayanpet (Lr. No. A1/102/2024), about unauthorized construction by respondent No.7, despite this Court's directions in W.P.No.7868 of 2024, order dated 03.10.2024, whereby the Court had directed the authorities to pass appropriate orders on the building-construction application of respondents No.6 to 8 under the Telangana Panchayat Raj Act, 2018. At the hearing, the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.5 (Gram Panchayat) submitted that respondent No.7's application had been considered and building permission granted vide Proc. No.107/BP/2025 dated 12.05.2025, a copy whereof was filed before the Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner thereupon sought liberty to challenge the said proceedings. The Court closed the writ petition with liberty as prayed for, with no order as to costs, and closed pending miscellaneous applications. No ruling was made on the legality of the respondent No.3's inaction.
