HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.8763 of 2010 20th April 2010 Between: M. Uday Singh … PETITIONER(S) and The Commissioner, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Tank Bund Road, Hyderabad and another … RESPONDENT(S) THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.8763 OF 2010 ORDER: Heard Sri P. Pratap Reddy, Learned Counsel for the petitioner and Sri R. Radhakrishna Reddy, Learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents. At their request the Writ Petition is being disposed of at the stage of admission. The petitioner claims to have inherited a house from his mother. Later, he and his brothers partitioned the property by registered partition deed dated 20.02.2009. The Southern part of the building bearing No.14-8-385/2 situated at Jummerath Bazar, Hyderabad, admeasuring 176.40 sq. yards having plinth area of 1588 sq.ft. in ground plus first floor was allotted to his elder brother, and the petitioner got an extent of 176.40 sq.yards having plinth area of 100 sq. ft. in ground floor plus first floor went to his younger brother’s share. They filed an application before the Joint Collector, Hyderabad, for issuance of a No Objection Certificate on 02.03.2009. The petitioner claims that the Joint Collector issued the No Objection Certificate dated 01.07.2009. Thereafter, they filed an application before the Commissioner, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, seeking permission for construction of a compound wall and paid the requisite fee of Rs.6,500/- on 10.07.2009. The petitioner’s grievance is that, despite an application having been filed as early as on 10.07.2009, the first respondent has not passed any order on the petitioner’s request for grant of permission for construction of a compound wall. In such circumstances, I consider it appropriate to direct the first respondent, or any other authority competent to examine the petitioner’s application, to consider the petitioner’s application in accordance with law and, in case, they satisfy the conditions stipulated in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporations Act, 1955, the Rules, the Regulations and the Building Bye-laws, to consider grant of sanction for construction of a compound wall. The entire exercise, culminating in an order being passed, shall be completed within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Needless to state that, in any view of the matter, the first respondent or the competent authority shall pass a reasoned order and communicate the same to the petitioner herein. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. ______________________________ 20.04.2010 RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J CVRK/MRKR
