ORDER:
"Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri I. Koti Reddy,
learned Standing Counsel representing 6% respondent and
Sri K. Jagan Mohan Reddy, learned Special Government Pleader . representing 7th respondent.
Learned Standing Counsel for 6 respondent states that as on date, there is no plan to construct any building in the open space.
However, learned counsel for the 7th respondent raises an interesting argument and states that what is earmarked for open space does not exclusively belong to the residents of the colony in the layout. According to him, the construction is being planned as per the master plan of the area and that since it is earmarked for a public purpose, the petitioner cannot object to the same. He also contends that the judgment referred to by the learned counsel for the petitioner will not apply to the facts of the case as the plan sanctioning authority is not made a party to this writ petition.
In the opinion of this Court, these are issues, which need to be determined in the writ petition. |
