The writ petitioners subsequently have filed amendment applications claiming for such other reliefs and as the said reliefs are ancillary reliefs emanating from the main prayer, the said application was allowed. 2. The brief facts of the case are that, the ancestors of the petitioners have been living in Bhimraobada Slum (Nampally) for the last more than 60 years and consequent to their to their death the Petitioners have been living in the slum by working as labourers, as domestic servants etc., and all the petitioners are stated to be leading lives below the poverty lines. Further, in the year 1991, the then Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad, issued notification under Section 3(1) of Andhra Pradesh Slum Improvement (Acquisition of Land) Act 1956 (for short, ‘Act, 1956’), declaring the area known as Bhimraobada Slum, Hyderabad, Ward-5, Block-5, bound on the North, by road leading to Nampally to Mozzamjahi Road, on the South, by Nala and houses, on the East, by Ajanta Gate Exhibition and Housing Board Office and on the West, by Housing Board Office and Door No.5-5-406. The said notification has been published in the A.P.Gazette at Issue No.47 dated 12.12.1991. Taking into consideration of the impoverished condition of the inhabitants of Bhimaaobada slum i.e., the petitioners herein, the 5th respondent has assigned the house plots each admeasuring 33.33 square meters or so in Sy.No.4/1, Block-M, Ward No.47 of Nampally village of the erstwhile Musheerabad Taluq, Hyderabad District and though D-form pattas were not granted to some of the persons were also residing in the said slum from many years. Further, it is the case of the writ petitioners that they were also provided with basic amenities like electricity, water supply to the structures allotted and possessed by them. Their houses were assessed vide separate house numbers for all the dwellings in their possession and enjoyment and the total extent of land admeasuring was 1153.09 square meters. 3. Further the then Revenue Divisional Officer, Hyderabad Division vide Lr.No.F/8611/1990, dated 22.05.2007 requested the Collector, Hyderabad District, to cancel the pattas issued to the beneficiaries in order to rehabilitate the slum dwellers in nearby place since the pattas were issued mistakenly by exceeding his authority. After examining the same, the then Joint Collector, Hyderabad vide No.F/11430/2006, dated 21.06.2007 had issued notices to the D-form patta holders and also to such other persons who were not possessing any D-form pattas and pursuant thereto the said D-form pattas were cancelled. 4. Further, it is the contention of the Government that consequent upon the cancellation of the D-form Pattas the Government issued G.O.Ms.No.251, dated 24.03.2008 by de-notifying the said slum and the District Collector, Hyderabad, was directed to shift all the slum dwellers along with all inhabitants so as to rehabilitate them to Afzal Sagar under JNNURM Scheme and further the allotment was made by drawing lottery, but however the pattas were not issued due to pendency of several litigations. 5. Per contra, it is the specific case of the petitioners that they were thrown out of their dwellings by the respondents without following due process of law in violation of the orders of this Court in writ petitions. It was also contended that in the various writ petitions filed before this Court by the petitioners and similarly situated persons, the respondents have undertaken that they would follow due procedure of law if they intend to dispossess the writ petitioners and others, from their dwellings. Further, it is contended that despite several orders from this Court to fallow due process of law, on the fateful night of 02.01.2007, the shelters of the petitioners and others were demolished by using Police force by the respondents and that they were illegally dispossessed from the said dwellings and they were taken in trucks to a place called Afzal Sagar, which is nothing but a graveyard, thus as the petitioners were unable to stay at the said land which was not suitable for living. The writ petitioners and others have not occupied the dwellings of Afzal Sagar. 6. The writ Petitioners accordingly approached this Court challenging the action of the respondents herein in evicting the writ petitioners by force without following due procedure of law and also challenged the G.O.Ms.No.251, dated 24.03.2008 in de-notifying the Slum. Further, in the course of hearing, this Court to ascertain the physical position appointed an Advocate-Commissioner Sri K.S.Murthy (Advocate) to conduct a physical survey of the land and to ascertain the factual issue on the ground. In pursuance of the same, the Advocate-Commissioner visited the site has filed a report inter alia contending that initially, the Advocate-Commissioner was not permitted into the site and the Advocate-Commissioner has opined that the entire slum was demolished and the entire houses of the slum dwellings were demolished and many of the slum dwellers, who were present there, alleged to have approached the Advocate-Commissioner and prayed for mercy. 7. The said writ petition has been adjourned from time to time for disposal before this Court and the respondents have filed counter negating the contentions of the petitioners and that is how this writ petition was posted today before this Court for determination of the issue. The learned Senior Counsel Mr. Gandra Mohan Rao for petitioners placed reliance on several judgments of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, wherein in similar cases to the case on hand directed the State for payment of compensation in the cases to the persons who are illegally thrown out of their houses without following due process law contended that the petitioners are the slum dwellers and have been granted D-form pattas vide orders of the 1st respondent to an extent of 33.33 square meters and many others were also living in the slum from past several years and that they have constructed small houses and living more for than 60 to 70 years and that the respondent-Government instead of providing proper amenities to them have demolished their houses by and thrown the petitioners out of their houses by de-notifying the said slum without following the procedure contemplated under law. Further the D-form pattas which were granted by the Government were also filed before this Court in proceedings No.G/8611/90 etc. 8. Per contra, the learned Special Government Pleader Ms. Further the D-form pattas which were granted by the Government were also filed before this Court in proceedings No.G/8611/90 etc. 8. Per contra, the learned Special Government Pleader Ms. A.Divya, representing the Office of the Advocate-General would contend that the in order to place the petitioners in a better place, they were shifted to a place by giving all the amenities, but, however, the petitioners were not interested to stay at the place where they were shifted and that as the place where the petitions were living was a slum area and for their upliftment only, the petitioners were shifted and in fact, there is no violation of any procedure under law by the respondents nor there was any force or threat, which was used when the petitioners were shifted to a new place at Afzal Sagar, Hyderabad and contended that the writ petition is devoid of merits and liable to be dismissed. 9.
