THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO.12698 OF 2010 ORDER: Heard Sri Sreenivasa Rao Velivela, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri R.Ramachandra Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for GHMC. At their request, the Writ Petition is being disposed of at the stage of admission. The petitioner claims to be the absolute owner of house property bearing premises No.12-11-1208 & 1209, Plot Nos.E/24 & E/25, Boudhanagar, Warisguda, Secunderabad. He approached the Corporation with an application seeking permission to construct a building in the said property. It is his grievance that the respondents refused to receive the said application on the plea that the petitioner’s application was not accompanied with a T.S.L.R Certificate and a No Objection Certificate from the revenue authorities. In more or less similar circumstances, this Court, in Hyderabad Potteries Private Limited v. Collector, Hyderabad[1] and Adge Nagaraju (judgment in WP.No.26366 of 2009 dated 03.12.2009), held that a local authority cannot insist on production of T.S.L.R. or No Objection Certificate from the District Collector. Following the said judgments, the respondents are directed to receive and process the application of the petitioner for construction of the building without insisting on production of T.S.L.R. certificate and No Objection Certificate from the District Collector. The respondents shall, however, ensure that the provisions of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955, the Rules and the Building Bye-Laws made thereunder are adhered to while considering the petitioner’s application for grant of building permission. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _______________________ (RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J) 7th June 2010 RRB [1] 2001(3) ALD 600
