The petitioners have preferred the instant petition being aggrieved of the non-consideration of their request for the grant of the building permission for residential purposes by the respondent-Pahalgam Development Authority, despite the fact that the petitioners have obtained all the requisite NOC(s) from all the concerned departments. Since the Pahalgam Development Authority has not accorded due consideration to the application which, as stated by the learned counsel for the petitioners, has been preferred by the petitioners in June, 2025 after fulfilling all the requisite formalities and payment of requisite fee, the instant writ petition has been preferred by the petitioners. 02.
