T V S PRABHAKARA RAO Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1.GP MUNCIPAL ADMN AND URBAN DEVAP 2 The Court made the following: ORDER:- The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are aggrieved by the endorsement dated 15,09.2025 whereby the petitioners’ application for conducting Sri Vinayaka Trade Fair Exhibition from 15.09.2025 to 31.10.2025 was rejected on the ground that W.P.No. 17286 of 2022 is pending consideration before this Court. 2. It is submitted that the petitioners had filed O.S.No.138 of 1984 which was decreed and subsequently A.S.No.1901 of 1989 was filed by the State, which was dismissed. Unmindful of the title being devolved on the petitioners by the competent Court, the respondents were trying to interfere with the petitioners’ possession, and as such the petitioners filed W.P.No.17286 of 2022. This Court, vide order dated 24.06.2022, directed the respondents therein not to interfere with the peaceful possession of the petitioners. 3. It is further submitted that the State has not filed any Appeal against the order passed in A.S.No.1901 of 1989 and thereby the order of the trial Court has attained finality. The petitioners intended to conduct a Trade Fair Exhibition on the land admeasuring Ac. 1.50 cents in T.S.No.813 of Anakapalli Town, which belongs to the petitioners. However, the 2^^^ respondent issued the impugned proceedings. It is also submitted that the petitioners have obtained a No Objection Certificate from the Regional Fire Officer, Visakhapatnam, for conducting the said Trade Fair Exhibition. 3 Considering the submissions and after perusing the impugned proceedings, it is clear that the pendency of W.P.No.17286 of 2022 has nothing to do with the proposed Trade Fair Exhibition by the petitioners. That apart, considering the dates mentioned, the permission was sought from the 2"^^ respondent for the period from 15.09.2025 to 31.10.2025. 4. \ 5. The learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that the petitioners shall submit a fresh representation seeking permission afresh on the revised dates. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 2'^'^ respondent submits that the revenue authorities have a claim over the property and as such the permission was not accorded to the petitioners. 6. 7. If that be the case, there is no explanation as to why the authorities did not file an Appeal against the orders passed in O.S.No.138 of 1984 or A.S.No.1901 of 1989. This Court is of the considered view that this writ petition is disposed off at the admission stage, leaving it open to the petitioners to submit a fresh representation to the 2'"'^ respondent for conducting a Trade Fair Exhibition on the revised dates, and the 2''^ respondent, on receipt of such representation, shall pass necessary orders without reference to the pending W.P.No.17286 of 2022, as the same has nothing to do with the proposed Trade Fair Exhibition of the petitioners. No costs. 8. 4 As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. //TRUE COPY// Sd/- B. CHITTI JOSEPH DEPUTY REGISTRAR To. SECTION OFFICER Department, State of 1.
