1. The present writ petition is filed aggrieved by the inaction on the part of respondent Nos.1 to 4 in not taking any action against the illegal construction undertaken by respondent No.5 by encroaching upon the existing pathway situated between Plot Nos.18 and 24, without obtaining any construction approval from respondent No.3.
2. It is submitted that the petitioner was assigned Plot No.24, admeasuring Ac.0.03 cents in R.S.No.74/4, situated at Gollavanigunta of Akkarampalli, Tirupati Municipal Corporation. It is further submitted that respondent No.3 had granted permission to the petitioner to construct a house, and the petitioner had left a six-foot-wide passage for ingress and egress to his property and for the benefit of others. It is submitted that Plot No.18 was originally allotted in favour of Smt. M.V.H. Surya Kumari and that the said property changed several hands before ultimately coming into the possession of respondent No.5. However, respondent No.5 has commenced further construction by encroaching upon the said six-foot-wide passage meant for ingress and egress.
