Siva Ram, learned Standing Counsel for Vijayawada Municipal Corporation. 2. The prayer sought in the present Writ Petition is as under: “It is therefore prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue writ order or direction more particularly one in the nature of writ of mandamus by declaring the action of the official respondent i.e., 3rd respondent in issuing impugned demolition notice vide Roc.No.G5-TCP-113629/2025 dated 30.12.2025 dated 30.12.2025 against the petitioner building is illegal, irregular, irrational, arbitrary, without any authority of law by violating the Articles 14,19, 21 and 300-A of the constitution of India to set aside the demolish notice Roc No. G5-TCP-113629/2025 dated 30.12.2025 dated 30.12.2025 to protect the petitioner building and consequently direct the petitioner to issue the of TDR Bond along with compensation of the lost land as per land acquisition provisions to the Petitioner along with interest till date since 2015 and pass other order or orders may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case.” 3. The material on record would clearly show that the Writ Petitioner has made several deviations from the original sanctioned Plan, which is of the year 2008. It transpires from record that the Petitioner had got several deviations regularized in the year 2015. The original Plan which is sanctioned by the Respondents in the year 2008 is Ground plus three floors (G+3). Subsequently, the Writ Petitioner has created another floor and described the whole building as Stilt+Ground+4 floors. This would indicate that two additional stories/floors have been created with whatever name that is called. 3 In any case, these deviations have been admittedly regularized in the year 2015. 4. Thereafter, the Writ Petitioner had made certain constructions, either temporary or permanent, in the stilt area, which is only meant for parking and which shall not be used for any other purpose. Earlier, the Writ Petitioner approached this Court by filing W.P.No.28485 of 2023. This Court, vide Order dated 19.11.2025, was pleased to dispose of the same with the following observations: “3. The learned Standing counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent has filed a detailed counter. It is submitted that the 2nd respondent authority deputed a competent officer to inspect the subject site. It is further submitted that, in response to the notice issued, the petitioner stated that an application for regularization under the BPS Scheme had been filed. It is also submitted that the unauthorized construction on the ground floor, which is meant for parking, has now been converted for commercial purpose. Such construction, it is submitted, is impermissible, and even under the BPS Scheme, the same cannot be considered for regularization. It is further submitted that a confirmation order dated 03.05.2025 has already been passed, but further action pursuant thereto has been stalled due to the pendency of the Writ Petition. 4. Considering the submissions, the present Writ Petition is disposed off, leaving it open to the respondent authorities to take appropriate action, in accordance with law, for removal of the unauthorized shops constructing in the area earmarked for parking. There shall be no order as to costs.” 5. In compliance with the Order of this Court dated 19.11.2025 in W.P.No.28485 of 2023, the Respondent Authorities have now issued a Notice dated 30.12.2025 bearing Rc.G5-2023-TCP-113629/2025 (Ex.P.1). Sri Goli GVSS Sai, learned Counsel representing Sri S.V.S.S. Siva Ram, learned Standing Counsel for Vijayawada Municipal Corporation, has submitted the Written Instructions furnished by the Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, 4 Vijayawada dated 21.01.2026 along with certain material papers and the approved Plan. The Written Instruction is taken on record. 6. The approved Plan at page 11 would indicate that the Writ Petitioner has described the floor above the stilt as the Ground Floor and thereafter has laid four floors. Although this Plan indicates that it is completely contrary to the original approved Plan, this Court would not make any comment on it inasmuch as the said developments have been allegedly regularized in the year 2015. The said Plan would also indicate that the stilt floor is meant for parking and is to be kept free from any construction, nor could it be used for any purpose other than parking. 7. Having regard to these facts, this Court is not inclined to interfere in the present Writ Petition. Respondents are directed to clear the parking area in the stilt forthwith i.e., within two (2) weeks and recover the costs incurred for clearance from the Writ Petitioner. 8. Accordingly, Writ Petition is dismissed as being devoid of any merit. No order as to costs. 9. Interlocutory Applications, if any, stand closed in terms of this order. ______________________________________ GANNAMANENI RAMAKRISHNA PRASAD, J Dt:22.01.2026 Vns
