Quick Summary: A doctor in Mahabubnagar is fighting against his neighbor's illegal building work. The court is now involved to help resolve the issue.

The People Involved

In this situation, Dr. C. Amarender Nath, who lives in Rajendranagar, Mahabubnagar, is the person bringing the case. He is up against the State of Telangana, the local city council, and his neighbor, Vittal Yadav, whom he says is building without following the rules.

What's the Problem?

Dr. Nath says that his neighbor, Vittal Yadav, is putting up a building without leaving enough space around it. This means the building is taking over Dr. Nath's property, including a shared walkway. The construction is said to go against the approved building plans.

The Legal Move

Dr. Nath filed a request under a part of the Indian Constitution. He wants the court to tell the city council to do something about the illegal building. He believes that the Mahabubnagar Municipality is not doing its job properly by not stopping the construction.

The Court's Response

The case was looked at by Justice P. Naveen Rao. The court noticed that even though Dr. Nath complained on May 29, 2015, the building work kept going. The head of the Mahabubnagar Municipality was supposed to stop the building but did not.

"The Commissioner made a note telling the ACP to stop the building work if it does not follow the approved plan."

What's Next?

The court has now told the head of the Mahabubnagar Municipality to come to the next hearing on August 20, 2015. The court wants to know why nothing has been done even after many requests.

Summary of the Verdict

The court has taken steps to address the issue by ordering the head of the Mahabubnagar Municipality to explain the lack of action. This may lead to a resolution for Dr. Nath regarding the illegal construction by his neighbor.
