THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.32721 of 2011 ORDER: The short grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that the respondent has been refusing to receive the application for building permission, when it was sought to be submitted by him, on the ground that the same was not accompanied by a no objection certificate from the revenue department. At the hearing, it is not disputed by Sri P.Raghavendra Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent, that the issue as to whether local bodies can insist on production of no objection certificate from revenue authorities, is settled by the judgments of this Court in District Collector v. N.Krishna Mohan[1] and Hyderabad Potteries Private Limited v. District Collector, Hyderabad[2]. Having regard to this settled legal principle, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to receive the petitioner’s application for building permission without insisting on no objection certificate and dispose of the same, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 16-12-2011 Prv [1] 2000 (4) ALD 126 [2] 2001 (3) ALD 600
