Azizunnissa Begum v. The State Of Telangana

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.15499 OF 2016

O R D E R

Heard Sri D.Jagan Mohan Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, and Sri Chatla Madhu, learned standing counsel for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation.

It is fairly conceded by the learned standing counsel for the respondent-Grater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation that the issue is squarely covered by the orders of this Court in earlier writ petitions. A copy of the order dated 11.06.2010 in W.P.No.13167 of 2010 is placed before the Court and reflects that following its earlier judgment in HYDERABAD POTTERIES PRIVATE LIMITED V/s. COLLECTOR, HYDERABAD[1], this Court held that the local authority could not insist on product of T.S.L.R. Certificate or No Objection Certificate from the revenue authorities as a condition precedent for receiving and processing a building application.

For reasons alike, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to receive and process the application of the petitioners for construction of residential complex in Sy.No.194/1 of Begumpet Village, Balanagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, without insisting on production of T.S.L.R. Certificate or No Objection Certificate from the revenue authorities. The respondent-Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation shall ensure that the provisions of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955, the rules and the building bye-laws made thereunder are adhered to while considering the petitioners' application for grant of building permission.

The writ petition is disposed of accordingly at the stage of admission. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed in the light of this final order. No order as to costs.
