Govt of NCT of Delhi & Ors. [W.P.(C) 9289/2025, decided on 09.07.2025], wherein this court has directed issuance of LSR/NOC to petitioners therein. 5.

Mr. Pathak submits, upon instructions, that the present case is similar in all respects to the aforesaid cases, and no acquisition proceedings are pending in respect of the subject land. 6.

In view of the above, the writ petition is allowed, and respondent is directed to issue the required LSR/NOC to the petitioners within a period of two weeks, or to certify in writing that no LSR/NOC is required.
