HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W. P. No. 21386 of 2009 DATED: 07.10.2009 Between: Dr. Iqbal Banu Hussain ..... PETITIONER AND 1. Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corpn., rep. By its Chief Commissioner 2. Asst. City Planner, GHMC .....RESPONDENT(S) O R D E R:- This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in insisting the petitioner on producing “No Objection Certificate” (NOC) from the revenue authorities as well as the Department of Town Survey and Land Records for receiving and entertaining her application for construction of a building at premises bearing No.1-5-260, Musheerabad, Hyderabad, as arbitrary and illegal. Heard the learned counsel for both the parties and perused the material placed on record. The law is well-settled that there is no enough power vested in the Commissioner under Sections 428, 429, 431 and 434 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporations Act, 1955 to call for such necessary particulars and information, as is considered appropriate to satisfy himself about the, right, title and interest of the petitioner over the land on which the building is sought to be erected, and there is no provision in the Act to insist upon the applicants to submit “No Objection Certificate’ either from the revenue establishment of the State Government or from the Town Survey and Land Records Department. In the light of the settled legal position noticed above, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission with a direction to the respondents to receive the application submitted by the petitioner for grant of building permission and process the same in accordance with law without insisting upon production of “No Objection Certificate” either from the revenue administration or from the Department of Town Survey and Land Records and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. ______________ N.V.RAMANA, J 7th October, 2009 bcj
