Vippa Bhoopathi Reddy v. Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 5765 of 2016 ORDER:

It is fairly conceded by the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent-Greater 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. Collector, Hyderabad[1], this Court held that the local authority could not insist on production 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 boundary wall/watchman room in respect of the land admeasuring Ac.3-00 guntas in Survey No.35/Part, Guttala Begumpet Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, without insisting on production of T.S.L.R. Certificate and No Objection Certificate from the revenue authorities. The respondentGreater 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 also stand closed in the light of this final order. No order as to costs.
