Court: Andhra Pradesh

Reported in: 1997(2)ALT257
ORDERB. Subhashan Reddy, J.1. This Writ Petition was filed questioning the notice dated 19-8-1988 issued by the respondent-Chirala Municipality demanding the petitioners to vacate the shops, which they have occupied on lease basis.2. Indisputably the shops belong to Chirala Municipality, which is a statutory body and a local authority constituted under the Andhra Pradesh Municipalities Act, 1965 (for short 'the Act') and which is governed by the above statute and the rules framed thereunder.3. It is very safe to auction leasehold rights and that what was being done by the Municipalities normally; but it seems Chirala Municipality in some cases extended the leases by collecting 1/3 rentals in excess of the existing rentals. Henceforth, that practice has to be stopped. There cannot be any discrimination between one tenant and another tenant of the Municipality, as otherwise it will be violative of equality clause under Article 14 of the Constitution of India. It is deprecating to note th...

Reported in: AIR1997AP111; 1997(1)ALT60
ORDERLingaraja Rath, J. 1. The only question raised in this appeal is the correctness of the circular issued by the respondent on 7-11-1995 following the decision of the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, West Bengal that a complaint can be filed by the consumer activists organisation on behalf of its members alone, but for none else. Since that is the only question raised and the respondent has appeared through the counsel to justify the circular, we dispose of this appeal at the admission stage after hearing the learned counsel on both sides. The impugned circular of the respondent runs as follows:'It is, therefore, clear from the above decision that a complaint can only be filed by' the Consumer Activists Organisation on behalf of its member alone, but none else. Hence, it is necessary that this legal report shall be taken note of by the Consumer Activists Organisation which are filing complaints in this Forum.'2.
