THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.33774 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the owners of Acs.0.17 guntas of land carved out of Survey Nos.44 and 39 of Hafeezpet Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. He submitted an application on 04.10.2010 to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, respondent No.1 herein, seeking permission to construct. A copy of the same was submitted to Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority, respondent No.2 herein. The grievance of the petitioners is that respondent No.1 has not passed any orders so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. Nearly six months have elapsed ever since the petitioner submitted the application. It appears that correspondence ensued between the respondents inter se as regards the land use. In case any doubt is entertained by respondent No.1 as to the eligibility of the petitioner to get permission, necessary clarification ought to have been sought. There cannot be any justification to keep the application pending indefinitely. Further, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act provides for approval of deemed permission on account of default on the part of respondent No.1 Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.1 to pass orders on the application submitted by the petitioners within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:20.04.2011 Note: Issue cc in one week. (B/o) kdl
