As a matter of fact, the 2nd Respondent/Chennani Metropolitan Development Authority purportedly issued a common notice dated 27.08.2015 to the available persons in the Apartment. 4.

The prime contention taken on behalf of the Petitioners is that the Respondents being the statutory authority are under legal obligation not to proceed further when common Appeal and Stay Petition were filed and the same admittedly are pending as on date. Before disconnecting the water supply and sewerage, the plea of the Petitioners is that no notice was issued to them and therefore, Principles of Natural Justice were not adhered to.
