THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25133 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner intended to make construction over his plot at Bandlaguda, Hyderabad. For that purpose, he wanted to submit application before respondent No.1. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No. 1 is not receiving the application, on the ground that his did not obtain “No Objection Certificate” from the District Collector, respondent No.2 herein. He seeks appropriate directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1 and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent No.2. The question as to whether it is competent for the Municipal Corporation to insist on production of “No Objection Certificate” from revenue authority is no longer res integra. In Hyderabad Potteries Private Limited Vs. Collector, Hyderabad[1], this Court dealt with that very question and held that a local authority cannot insist on production of “No Objection Certificate” from the revenue authority. Following the same, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.1 to receive and process the application of the petitioner without insisting on production of “No Objection Certificate” from respondent No.2. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:19.11.2009 Note: Issue C.C. in three days.
