ORDER :(ORAL) This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking to declare the action of respondent Nos.2 to 4 in entertaining building/ development permission in respect of the land admeasuring Acs.2-00 guntas in Survey Nos.164/A, 164/AA, 165/A, 165/AA and 165/B situated at Chandanagar Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, despite status quo order passed by 2 respondent No.2 in File No.D2/2782/2025 dated 24.03.2026, as being illegal and arbitrary.
2. Mr. Vishal Maharana, learned counsel, accepts notice on behalf of respondent Nos.7 to 12.
3. Heard Mr. Katike Ravinder Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. L. Ravinder, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, appearing for respondent Nos.1, 2 and 6, Mr. V. Narsimha Goud, learned standing counsel for HMDA, appearing for respondent No.5, and Mr. Vishal Maharana, learned counsel for respondent Nos.7 to 12.
4. It is stated that appeal was filed by the petitioner under Section 8 of the Telangana Agricultural land (Conversion for Non-Agricultural Purposes) Act 2006 challenging the NALA proceeding Nos.2500057876 in File No.B/292/2025, 2500060069 in File No.B/261/2025, 2500057736 in File No.B/293/2025, 2500060077 in File No.B/291/2025, 2500133285 in File No.B/303/2025, 2500057603 in File No.B/260/2025 dated 3 13.03.2025 issued in favour of unofficial respondents. Status quo order was passed by the District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, in File No.D2/2782/2025 dated 24.03.2026, until further orders. The said appeal is pending before respondent No.2. Petitioner reliably learnt that respondent Nos.7 to 12 are seeking to obtain building/development permission in respect of the land covered by the status quo order. If any permission is granted to the petitioner, it will lead to multiplicity of proceedings, as such, the present writ petition is filed.
5. Learned counsel for respondent Nos.7 to 12 submitted that the writ petition is premature. Respondent Nos.7 to 12 have not submitted any application seeking building permission as of now. The application if any will be made only after the status quo order dated 24.03.2026 passed by respondent No.2 is vacated. The writ petition is filed without any cause of action and liable to be dismissed.
6. Recording the aforesaid submissions of learned counsel for respondent Nos.7 to 12 that respondent Nos.7 to 12 have not 4 submitted any application seeking building permission and will abide by the status quo order passed by respondent No.2, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous applications, if any, pending in the writ petition stand closed.
