Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.B.CHANDRA SHEKHAR Counsel for the Respondents: SMT.KALPANA EKBOTE The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO : 15017 of 2009 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the first respondent-Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation in refusing the petitioner’s application dated 27.09.2008 for building permission in respect of her house plot bearing No.354 in Survey No.44/1, situated at Matrushri Cooperative Housing Building Society, Miyapur village, Serilingampally, Hyderabad, as arbitrary and illegal. When the matter is taken up for consideration, it is brought to my notice that in identical circumstances relating to the premises situated in very same survey No.44/1, this Court disposed of the W.P.No.23208 of 2008 by order dated 23.10.2008 directing the Corporation to consider the application of the petitioners therein and pass appropriate orders. The operative portion of the said order is extracted hereunder: “Indisputably no injunction is subsisting against the petitioners or against the society from whom the petitioners purchased the plot. When similarly situated persons approached this Court, their writ petitions came to be disposed of directing the respondents 1 and 2 to consider their building permission application filed by them and therefore, in the absence of legal bar in granting the building permission, subject to the satisfying requirements under the provisions of Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, the petitioners are entitled to grant of building permission. However, in the event of LGC case which is pending before the Special Court decided against their vendor, the petitioners shall not claim equities or compensation for the costs of the buildings constructed by them. The respondents shall accordingly consider the application of the petitioners for grant of building permission to them.” It is not disputed before this Court by the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Corporation that the petitioner herein is also similarly situated. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of in terms of the above order. No costs. __________ 27.07.2009 Rns .....
