THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.961 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners intended to make construction of a building in different extents of land, situated at Razdarkhanpet, Mangalhat, Hyderabad. For that purpose, they wanted to submit an application before the respondents. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents are not receiving the application, on the ground that they did not obtain “No Objection Certificate” from the revenue authority. They seek appropriate directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The question as to whether it is competent for the Municipal Corporation to insist on production of “No Objection Certificate” from revenue authority is no longer res integra. I n Hyderabad Potteries Private Limited Vs. Collector, Hyderabad[1], this Court dealt with that very question and held that a local authority cannot insist on production of “No Objection Certificate” from the revenue authority. Following the same, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to receive and process the application of the petitioners without insisting on production of “No Objection Certificate” from the revenue authority. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:25.01.2011 Note: Issue cc in one week. (B/o) kdl [1] 2001(3) ALD 600
