The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Writ Petition No.2439 of 2010 Order: Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and Sri R.Radhakrishna Reddy, learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondent No.1-Corporation. With their consent, the Writ Petition is taken up for hearing and disposal at the stage of admission. In this Writ Petition, the petitioner-Mannemala Bakes Private Limited seeks declaration, by way of Mandamus, that the action of the respondents, in refusing to receive and process its application seeking permission for construction of new building in premises bearing Municipal No.11-6-56/K (Old No.11-5-144/5) in Sy.Nos.716/4, 717, 718 and 722/B admeasuring 1368 square yards or 1143 square meters situated at Kukatpally Village and Municipality, Balanagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, is illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner claims that it is the absolute owner of the abovesaid property by virtue of a registered sale deed, dated 12-02-2009, bearing document No.474 of 2009. It is the grievance of the petitioner that the application filed by it under the provisions of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, seeking permission for construction of a new building after demolishing the existing structures in the abovesaid premises, is not being received by the respondents on the ground that the same is not accompanied by TSLR Certificate and also NOC issued by the revenue authorities. Having perused the material available on record, it is to be noted that there is nothing on record to show that the respondents have refused to receive the petitioner’s application. However, in Hyderabad Potteries Private Limited vs. Collector, Hyderabad[1], this Court has already considered the issue as regards the production of TSLR and NOC along with the application for building permission, and held that the Municipal authorities cannot insist on production of NOC from the revenue authority and that the Municipal authorities have to consider the application filed in this regard, based on the title documents to be produced by the applicants. In view of the same, respondents cannot refuse to receive the petitioner’s application merely on the ground that the same is not accompanied by TSLR Certificate and NOC. Following the judgment referred above, I dispose of this Writ Petition directing the respondents to receive the petitioner’s application seeking permission for construction, if the same is otherwise in order, without insisting for any TSLR Certificate or NOC from the revenue authorities as a pre-condition. However, consideration of such application shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act and the byelaws made thereunder. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J Dated 8th February, 2010 lur [1] 2001 (3) ALD 600
