THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE HARINATH. N WRIT PETITION No.29941 OF 2023 ORDER :
1.
The petitioner is aggrieved by the in-action on part of the respondent authorities in issuing occupancy certificate in favour of the petitioner for the building constructed in accordance with the sanctioned plan. The 4th respondent issued an endorsement dated 05.08.2023 referring to Rule 2 (87) and GOMs.No.119, dated 28.03.2017 and called upon the petitioner to submit registered gift deed for all roads and open spaces to the local body. 2. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that the said GO and Rule 2 (87) are completely inapplicable to the petitioner. It is also submitted that this Court considered the Rule 2(87) rule 61(7) and sub-clause (14) in WP.No.12916 of 2019 and the learned single Judge of this Court allowed the writ petition. 3. On the facts of this case, the petitioner has proposed to construct a showroom and applied for permission for construction which was sanctioned on 23.06.2022 and a complex was constructed as per the sanctioned plan. -4-
4. The respondents authority issued the impugned proceedings calling upon the petitioner to execute gift deed of all internal roads and spaces to handover them to local body. This was called for when the petitioner was sought for occupancy certificate. The construction of the petitioner does not fall under Rule 2(87) to be considered as a group development scheme and the facts of WPNo.12916 of 2019 are very much similar to the facts of this case. 5. Following the judgment of this court, the present writ petition is allowed, the impugned proceedings are set aside consequently the respondents 3 and 4 are directed to issue occupancy certificate to the petitioner. 6. Registry is directed to append the copy of order in WP.No.12916 of 2019 to this order. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE HARINATH.N Dated 16.07.2025 ANS
