THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25539 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner intended to make construction of new building in place of old building bearing premises No.10-3-761/7/1/A & B, Vijaynagar Colony, Hyderabad. For that purpose, he submitted an application, dated 16.11.2009, before the respondents. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondents are not receiving the application, on the ground that he did not obtain “ TSLR and No Objection Certificates” issued by the revenue authorities. He seeks appropriate directions in this regard. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Standing Counsel for respondents. The question as to whether it is competent for the Municipal Corporation to insist on production of “No Objection Certificate” from revenue authorities is no longer res integra. In Hyderabad Potteries Private Limited Vs. Collector, Hyderabad[1], this Court dealt with the very question and held that a local authority cannot insist on production of “No Objection Certificate” from the revenue authorities. Following the same, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to receive and process the application submitted by the petitioner without insisting on production of “No Objection Certificate” from the revenue authorities. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J 27th November, 2009 Js. [1] 2001(3) ALD 600
