GP FOR MUNCIPAL ADMN URBAN DEV The Court made the following: 3 ORDER:- Heard Sri P.L.Narasimha Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri A.S.C.Bose, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent Nos.2 to 4. 2. The grievance of the petitioner in the instant writ petition is against the inaction of the respondents in taking necessary action against the unauthorized encroachments over 20X30 feet road, Gedda, Nandagiri Nagar, Chekkudurathi Meda Road, Akkayyapalem, Visakhapatnam. 3. It is contended that the petitioner made several representations, as detailed below, and each representation raised different grievances. Sl.No. Date Reason 1. 12.06.2016 Parking of vehicles 2. 17.11.2020 Cleaning of Gedda and parking of vehicles 3. 30.03.2021 Parking of vehicles 4. 05.01.2022 Cleaning of Gedda and parking of vehicles 5. 19.09.2025 Cleaning of Gedda and parking of vehicles 6. 02.07.2026 Occupying of Gedda portion and cleaning of Gedda 3. None of the said representations were considered. 4. When the matter has been taken up for consideration, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 2nd to 4th respondents point out that each 4 representation raises different grievances, from parking of vehicles on the road to clearing of garbage. 4. A perusal of the record reflects that the grievances relate to 2016 to 2026. Unless a comprehensive representation is made to the respondents pointing out their present grievances or concerns, no direction in the present writ petition can be given to the respondents to consider and pass orders on the alleged pending representations, since the petitioner has submitted different representations at different points of time, raising separate and distinct grievances each time, and some of them are a decade old. 5. Therefore, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the petitioner to submit a consolidated comprehensive representation setting out their grievances to the 2nd respondent - Municipal Corporation within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of copy of the order. After such representation is filed, the 2nd respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders within a period of six (6) weeks thereafter. 6. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________________ JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA Dated: 09.09.2026 ANI 5 141 THE HONOURABLE SMT JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA WRIT PETITION NO:25059 of 2026 Dated:09.09.2026 ANI
