Both abovesaid Writ Appeals are taken up together for hearing and adjudication at request and with consent of learned counsel for parties as the property in both matters is the same.

2. Writ Petition No.14743 of 2026 has been filed by V. Venu Gopal, being aggrieved of no action being taken by the official authorities against present appellants (respondents in said writ petition) for unauthorized construction at the premises as described in the writ petition.

3. Whereas, Writ Petition No.16187 of 2026 was filed by present appellants i.e., Shaik Haseena and Shaik Kasim, challenging Final Notice dated 18.06.2026 for removal and demolition of the same unauthorized construction.

4. Learned writ court in Writ Petition No.14743 of 2026 vide interim order dated 22.05.2026 directed the respondents to take immediate action with regard to unauthorized construction raised by present appellant strictly in accordance with provisions of A.P. Municipal Corporations Act, 1955 and by following due process.

5. Present appeals have been filed challenging order dated 22.05.2026 passed in writ petition.

6. Learned counsel for appellants in both the appeals informs that demolition of construction in question has since been carried out, therefore, present appeals are in fact rendered infructuous. However, appellants should be afforded liberty to raise all available pleas before the learned writ court. It is further submitted that subsequent to demolition, the appellant has submitted application for approval of building plan, but the same is not being entertained by the official respondents.

7. Learned counsel for the respondent Corporation submits that appellants have to submit the said application for approval of building plan in online mode and in accordance with A.P. Building Rules, 2017 and it is only thereafter that they can be considered in accordance with law.

8. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances, both the appeals are dismissed as infructuous.

9. In case building plans are submitted by appellants in accordance with A.P. Building Rules, 2017, we are sanguine that same shall be considered in accordance with law as stated before us.
