The grievance of the petitioner in the instant Writ Petition is against the action of respondent Nos.2 to 4 in not considering the representations of the petitioner dated 10.08.2026 and 17.06.2026. 3 3. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration, learned Standing Counsel for Municipal Corporation appearing for respondent Nos.3 & 4 has placed before the Court a copy of the written instructions received from the 3rd respondent dated 11.08.2026. A perusal of the same would reflect as follows: “3. It is submitted that VMC did not disconnect the water supply to the petitioner's flat. The common municipal water supply connection provided to the said building is undisturbed and is in operation. The water connection to the petitioner's flat is internal arrangement for water supply to each flat and VMC is not concerned with the same. The grievance of the petitioner is primarily against the 5th and 6th respondents and the corporation is roped into their private dispute for the purpose of the present writ petition. There is no disruption of municipal water supply to the said building. 4. In so far as non-issuance of occupancy certificate is concerned, the application of the building permission did not submit notice of completion of building as per Rule 32 of A.P. Building Rules and also did not make application for issuance of occupancy certificate. Therefore, VMC did not issue occupancy certificate. At present, the entire building is under occupation of several persons and the petitioner purchased the mortgaged flat in the 2nd floor of the building. The aforesaid mortgage deed is not released till date. 5. Pursuant to the complaint of the petitioner, the authorities of VMC verified the premises and noted that the entire stilt area is being used only for the purpose of parking and that entire building is occupied by residents and that terrace is locked. 6. All the allegations against VMC are created for the purpose of the writ petition. The petitioner approached Hon'ble Court with unclean hands. The petitioner suppressed the fact she purchased 4 mortgaged flat despite having knowledge of the same and also the personal disputed with the respondents 5 and 6. 7. VMC is contemplating to take appropriate action against the same. The respondent authorities are not concerned with the personal and private disputed between the petitioner and the respondents 5 and 6 and the disconnection of municipal and bore water supply to the petitioner allegedly by the 5th and 6th respondents is the private dispute between the petitioner and the 5th respondent and the said issue cannot be attributed to the Corporation. VMC will take appropriate action against the said building in accordance with law.” 4. The written instruction of the 3rd respondent dated 11.08.2026 is placed on record. 5. Having regard to the same, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent Nos.3 & 4 to consider and pass appropriate orders on the representations of the petitioner dated 10.08.2026 and 17.06.2026, within a period of four (04) weeks from the date of receipt of the copy of this order. 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. ______________________________ JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA Dated: 11.09.2026 BSK 5 05 THE HONOURABLE SMT JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA WRIT PETITION NO: 22956 OF 2026 Dated: 11.09.2026 BSK
