Having regard to the short relief sought for in the Writ Petition, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission with the consent of both the parties.

It is his case that when he sought to submit an application along with the requisite fee, the 2nd Respondent is not accepting the same. It is needless to say that whenever applications are filed seeking permission for construction, the 2nd respondent has an obligation to receive the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. In the circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 2nd Respondent to receive the application of the petitioner and consider the same by passing appropriate orders in accordance with law. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 22nd September, 2011. skmr
