The petitioners contend that a sum of Rs.33,436/- was paid towards development charges as demanded by respondent No.2 and there is absolutely no basis for them to demand additional amount. It is also their case that subsequent revisions do not apply to them. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.2. The controversy in this regard is no longer res integra. This Court in G.Pochaiah Vs. Government of Andhra Pradesh[1], held that respondent No.2 is not entitled to levy any additional amount on the basis of revision of rates. The development charges are to be collected according to the rates prevailing on the date of application. Following the same, the writ petition is allowed and the impugned letter is set aside. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:24.03.2011 kdl [1] 1999(6) ALD 796
