HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No: 6603 of 2011 Dated 24.6.2011 Between: M/s. Sujana Universal Industries Limited, (formerly known as M/s.Sujana Industries Limited) 18, Nagarjuna Hills, Panjagutta, Hyderabad, represented by its Director Sri S.Hanumantharao and others. …Petitioners. And: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Tank Bund Road, Hyderabad, represented by its Commissioner and others. .....Respondents. HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No: 6603 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking declaration that the action of the respondents in not considering the petitioners’ application dated 12.7.2010 for granting permission to construct the building in Plot No.92 A of D.J.H.M. Road No.2, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad as arbitrary and illegal. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned counsel for Corporation and perused the counter filed on behalf of respondents 1 and 2. As can be seen from the counter affidavit, petitioners request was not considered only on the ground that they failed to submit copy of the approved plan or No Objection Certificate from the Collector, Hyderabad for taking further action. As held in HYDERABAD POTTERIES PRIVATGE LIMITED v. COLLECTOR, HYDERABAD DISTRICT AND ANOTHER ([1]), this Court held that the application for permission to construct a building cannot be rejected merely on the ground that no objection certificate has been produced and the Commissioner has to take independent decision. In view of the law laid down in the above said decision, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the petitioners’ application without insisting on ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the Collector Hyderabad and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. No costs. ___________________ G.ROHINI,J Dated: 24.6.2011. Dvs HONOURABLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI ` WRIT PETITION No: 6603 of 2011 Dated 24.6.2011 [1] 2001 (3) ALD 600
