The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Writ Petition No.19740 of 2001 Order: In this Writ Petition, the petitioners, who claim house sites in Bungalow No.3-10-1, Moti Valley, Trimulgerry, Secunderabad, applied for grant of construction permission and by letter, dated 14-03-2001, respondents-authorities informed the petitioners to produce ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the Urban Land Ceiling Authority for consideration thereof. During the pendency of this Writ Petition, the Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulation) Act, 1976 (for short ‘the Act’) was repealed on 28th March, 2008. In that view of the matter, the respondents- authorities cannot insist the petitioners for production of ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the Urban Land Ceiling Authority for consideration of their request for grant of construction permission. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the applications made by the petitioners, if any, for grant of construction permission, without insisting for ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the authorities concerned under the Act. However, it is made clear that such consideration shall be on its own merits, if the applications are otherwise in order. No order as to costs. _________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J Dated 17th November, 2009 lur
