It is stated that the said plot was assigned in favour of the petitioner’s father in the year 1994 and he had constructed a small room thereon. Subsequently, by virtue of a gift deed dated 17.06.2006, the petitioner acquired title to the said property. It is stated that having proposed to construct a new house after demolishing the existing structure, the petitioner submitted an application on 31.07.2009 seeking the necessary permission from the respondent Corporation. Aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the Corporation in considering his application, the present writ petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Sri S.Nageswara Reddy, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Corporation. The material placed before this Court shows that the petitioner presented the application along with the requisite fees on 31.07.2009. The petitioner also states that having acknowledged his application, the respondent Corporation called upon the petitioner to furnish certain documents and he had submitted the same on 19.08.2009. Since the petitioner’s application was admittedly received in August, 2009, the respondent Corporation is not justified in keeping the same pending for such a long time. Therefore, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to dispose of the petitioner’s application dated 31.07.2009 in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. ___________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 20.04.2011 Note: Issue CC in one week (B/o) Ivd
