THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.14936 OF 2011 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in insisting the petitioner to produce ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the Revenue Authorities as well as from the Town Survey and Land Records Department for receiving and entertaining the application for construction of a house bearing Municipal No.8-1- 423/A/234 admeasuring 250 square yards situated at Shaikpet Village, Hyderabad, as arbitrary and illegal. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Sri R.Radhakrishna Reddy, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents. The question raised in this Writ Petition is no longer res integra. This Court, in Hyderabad Potteries Private Limited v. Collector, Hyderabad District and Another[1] and District Collector v. N.Krishna Mohan[2], having considered an identical question, held that the authority cannot refuse to receive the building permission application on the ground of not furnishing “NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE” from the Revenue Authorities. In the light of the ratio laid down in the above decisions, the present Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad, to consider the application made by the petitioner seeking permission to construct a house in accordance with the provisions of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955, and the Rules made thereunder, without insisting on production of “NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE” from the Revenue Authorities. Accordingly the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________ (G.ROHINI, J) 8th June 2011 RRB [1] 2001(3) ALT 200 [2] 2000(3) ALT 225
