purchased the said house from one Akula Krishna Kumar vide
registered Sale Deed No.3034/223, dated 06.05.2013. As the

respondents authorities have not interfered with his possession.
However, when the petitioner intending to construct a residential
building in the said site, the staff of 3rd respondent-corporation
has visited the subject site and took measurements. When the
petitioner questioned their highhanded action, they have
informed that they are going to establish a Municipal Park in the
said site. Learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that,
when the petitioner has approached the 3rd respondent
Commissioner along with the necessary documents, he has
replied that they have already taken a decision to establish the

written instructions before this Court stating that, as per the

alleged site by erecting fencing and notice boards. However, they
would follow due process of law.

and after perusing the material available on record, the 3rd
