It is stated that the petitioner is the absolute owner and possessor of the house bearing No.16-11-727/1 admeasuring 198 Square meters situated at Gaddiannaram, Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad. It is also stated that the petitioner had got his share under a registered family settlement deed dated 10.02.1967 bearing document No.368 of 1967. It is further stated that the petitioner submitted an application in the third week of June 2006 to the respondent – Corporation praying for building permission for construction of ground plus first floor in the said property, but surprisingly the 2nd respondent, who is the competent authority to receive the building application up to three floors, refused to receive the same on the pretext that the petitioner’s building application was not accompanied with No objection certificate/TSLR certificate. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. 4. This Court, no doubt, more than a couple of occasions held that ‘No objection certificate’ could not be insisted upon. In view of the same, it is made clear that the application may be processed in accordance with law without insisting for any ‘No objection certificate’, but, however, the petitioner to comply with the production of TSLR certificate. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to receive and process the application of the petitioner in accordance with law without insisting for ‘No objection certificate’ and no doubt on production of TSLR certificate as required as already referred to supra. No order as to costs. This exercise has to be completed within a reasonable period, at any rate, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of the application. ___________________ P.S.
