I have heard Sri Srinivasa Rao Velivela, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and Sri C.Damodar Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, representing the respondents. At the hearing, it has come out that the issue raised in this Writ Petition is squarely covered by a judgment of this Court reported in Hyderabad Potteries Private Limited V. Collector, Hyderabad District and another[1] wherein it is held that the Municipal or other local authorities cannot insist on the production of the No Objection Certificate from the Revenue Department for the purpose of considering the applications for grant of building permission. In view of this undisputed position, this Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents to receive and process the petitioner’s application for building permission without insisting on the production of No Objection Certificate from the revenue authorities. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, W.P.M.P.No.29522 of 2011, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 26thAugust, 2011 DR [1] 2001(3) ALT 200
