Petitioner made another application to the first respondent dated 21.07.2005 seeking permission for construction of ground plus three upper floors. Pursuant to the said application the respondents raised certain objections. Though the petitioner complied with the said objections permission has not been sanctioned so far. Further the petitioner submitted another application dated 26.10.2005 and the respondents have passed no orders granting permission for construction of building. Without going into the merits of the case to the extent whether the petitioner is entitled for construction of ground plus three upper floors according to the relevant rules and guidelines issued from time to time, this Court is of the opinion that there is no justification for the inordinate delay on the part of the respondents in not considering and disposing the representations of the petitioner. However, the second respondent is directed to consider and dispose the representation of the petitioner dated 26.10.2005 within four weeks from today. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J December 29, 2005 DSK
