THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO Writ Petition No.26124 of 2001 ORDER: Petitioners, who are eight in number, purchased various extents of land (house sites) in Survey No.93-B of Pet Basheerbad Village, Qutubullapur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District under registered sale deeds. They applied to District Collector, Ranga Reddy District on 18.04.2000 for issuance of No Objection Certificate (NOC) for change of land use from institutional to commercial. District Collector, Ranga Reddy sent the application to Mandal Revenue Officer, Qutubullapur Mandal. By report dated 30.09.2000, Mandal Revenue Officer, Qutubullapur Mandal informed that land in Survey No.93 was assigned to various persons under Laoni Rules and that the Patta stands in the name of Bharat Bible College and that the request of petitioner may be considered. However, District Collector, Ranga Reddy District entertained a doubt and therefore, by communication dated 21.05.2001, he addressed second respondent seeking clarification in the matter. Alleging that second respondent has not taken any action on the request of District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, petitioners filed instant writ petition. Though the writ petition was admitted on 24.12.2001, learned Assistant Government Pleader is not able to submit whether clarification sought by District Collector, Ranga Reddy District has been considered by second respondent or not. Therefore, instead of keeping the matter pending, the writ petition is disposed of in the following manner. Second respondent may look into the letter No.D1/2502/2001 dated 21.05.2001 signed by District Collector, Ranga Reddy District seeking clarification in the matter on issuance of NOC to petitioners and send clarification immediately within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order, if the clarification sought by District Collector, Ranga Reddy is not already given. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) August 26, 2009 Bvv
