The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Writ Petition No.1608 of 2010 Order: Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents- Corporation. With their consent, the Writ Petition is taken up for hearing and disposal at the stage of admission. Petitioner claims to be the absolute owner and possessor of 451 square yards in premises bearing No.2- 3-64/5, in Survey Nos.286 and 291 of Amberpet, Hyderabad, by virtue of registered sale deed, dated 25-1-1985. It is his grievance that his application seeking permission for construction of a new building after demolishing the existing one in the abovesaid premises is not being received by the respondents on the ground that the same is not accompanied by Town Survey Land Records Certificate (for short ‘TSNR certificate’) and also No Objection Certificate (for short ‘NOC’) from the District Collector. In catena of judgments, this Court has already considered the said issue and held that NOC is not required to be produced for obtaining building permission under the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act and that the Municipal authorities have to consider the application filed in this regard, based on the title documents to be produced by the applicant. 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. For the aforesaid reasons, I dispose of the Writ Petition directing the respondents to receive the petitioner’s application seeking permission for construction without insisting for any TSLR certificate or NOC from the District Collector 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 1st February, 2010 lur
