ORDER:
This writ petition is filed challenging the action of the respondents in refusing to receive and process the application for building permission to an extent of 87.5 sq. yards in premises No.1-8241, Street No.10, Chikkadpally, Hyderabad, as the same is not accompanied with Town Survey Land Record Certificate (TSLR) and 'No Objection' Certificate, as illegal and arbitrary, and for a consequential direction to the respondents to receive and process the application for building permission without insisting for TSLR certificate and No Objection Certificate.
Heard Sri Sreenivasa Rao Velivela, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri R. Radhakrishna Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents.
The question involved in this writ petition is whether TSLR Certificate and 'No Objection' Certificate from the Revenue Authorities can be insisted upon by the respondents, in order to receive the application for building permission submitted by the petitioner. Both the counsel stated that this issue is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in Hyderabad Potteries Private Limited v. Collector, Hyderabad District & anr.[1]; District Collector v. N. Krishna Mohan[2] and W.P.No.32363 of 2011.
In view of the above decision, this writ petition is also disposed of directing the respondent-GHMC to take an appropriate decision on the application submitted by the petitioner, seeking permission to construct a building, in accordance with the provisions of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 and the Building Rules and Regulations made thereunder, without insisting for production of TSLR Certificate and 'No Objection' Certificate from the Revenue
authorities. No costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
