THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.20323 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners state that they are the owners and possessors of house bearing No.1-3-1036, TS.No.2, Block ‘A’, Ward No.76 of an extent of 1244 sq.yards, situated at Kavadiguda, Hyderabad. They acquired the same by way of General Power of Attorney executed on 01.09.2009 by their mother, who constructed the house in the said land in 1955 with sanctioned plan. Ever since, the petitioners claim to be in possession and enjoyment of the same. It is their case that they wanted to construct a building by demolishing the existing old building and accordingly, they submitted an application to respondent No.1 seeking permission for construction of a building in premises bearing No.1-3-1036. Their grievance is that the respondents are refusing to receive and process their application on the premise that it is not accompanied by a No Objection Certificate issued by respondent No.2. When the matter is taken up for hearing, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners and admitted to by the learned Standing Counsel for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation that similar writ petitions, one such being W.P.No.25785 of 2008, by order, dated 25.11.2008, were disposed of with certain directions. Therefore, both of them agreed for disposal of this writ petition in terms of the directions issued therein. Hence, following the said order, this writ petition is also disposed of at the stage of admission with the following directions: Respondent No.1 is directed to receive the application submitted by the petitioners seeking permission to construct the building, without insisting them to produce No Objection Certificate from respondent No.2. Whether the petitioners are entitled to the same or not is purely the prerogative of the respondents. However, after processing the application of the petitioners, the respondents shall pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with the provisions of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 and Building Bye- laws made therein, if the same is otherwise in order, within a period of six weeks from today. No costs. _________________ N.V.RAMANA, J 23rd SEPTEMBER, 2009. kvni
