Feeling aggrieved by insistence on production of No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the revenue department for sanction of building permission in respect of premises bearing No.1-8-84/1, Chikkadpally, Hyderabad, this writ petition is filed. At the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that this Court in District Collector v. N.Krishna Mohan[1] and Hyderabad Potteries Private Limited v. District Collector, Hyderabad[2] held that respondent No.2 and its functionaries cannot refuse to receive and consider the application for building permission only on the ground that the applicant has not produced the NOC from the revenue department. Sri C.Damodar Reddy, learned Standing Counsel representing respondent Nos.2 and 4, has not disputed this position. Having regard to the law laid down by this Court in the above judgments, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent Nos.2 and 4 to receive the petitioner’s application for building permission and consider the same without insisting on the NOC from the revenue department. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.40574 of 2010 is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 26th August, 2011 VGB [1] 2000 (4) ALD 126 [2] 2001 (3) ALD 600
