Summary: The court has ruled in favor of M/S L N Polysters Ltd, stating they don't need permission from the Revenue Divisional Officer for their land use plans. This decision is based on a previous similar case.
M/S L N Polysters Ltd and others, including G Surender Reddy, S Manmohan Rao, Sarala Devi, G Pushpaleela, and M/s Opus Developers and Builders, filed a request against the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) and the State of Telangana. They challenged a rule imposed by HMDA, which required them to get permission from the Revenue Divisional Officer as per the A.P.A.L. Act, 2006.
Justice Laxmi Narayana Alishetty noted that the issues in this request were similar to those in a previous case, "Sri K. Satyananda Patnaik v. The Hyderabad Urban Development Authority."
"It shall be competent for the Urban Development Authorities or the Local Authorities... to insist on submission of clearance/permission under the 2006 Act as a condition precedent for releasing of layouts."
This means that while authorities can ask for clearances, if the land was already used for non-farming purposes before the 2006 Act, the permission is not needed.
The court decided that the petitioners, M/S L N Polysters Ltd and others, do not need to obtain the permission. The judgment was based on the precedent set by the earlier case.
"The issues raised in the present writ petition is squarely covered by the order passed by this Court in 'Sri K. Satyananda Patnaik...'"
The request was resolved in line with the previous case's decision. There were no extra costs ordered, and any pending additional requests were dismissed.
This ruling is a significant relief for the petitioners, allowing them to proceed with their plans without the extra step of obtaining permission.
