O M R LAW FIRM Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. GP MUNCIPAL ADMN AND URBAN DEV AP 2. S.V.S.S.SIVARAM SC For VMC The Court made the following: WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE HARINATH.N WRIT PETITION Nos.25101, 30841, 23029, 25481, 29652, 29657, 29659, 29787 of 2024 and 4994, 5209, 5212, 5216, 5227, 5309, 5420 of 2025 COMMON ORDER : 1. The batch of writ petitions are filed challenging the orders dated 20.08.2024 and subsequent proceedings dated 14.10.2024. The petitioners are aggrieved by the action of the respondents in cancelling the part of the TDR (Transferable Development Rights) bonds and all consequential actions. The petitioners are seeking a consequential direction to the respondents to restore the visibility of the TDR bond certificates issued/purchased by the writ petitioners and other consequential reliefs. The petitioners are also challenging the unilateral action of cancelling the building permission, along with the utilisation of TDR bonds. 2. Sri.Unnam Muralidhar Rao, learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioners, submits that in the batch of writ petitions, the respondent authorities have resorted to the issuance of proceedings cancelling the building permissions along with the utilisation of TDR bond certificates. It is pertinent to mention that the petitioners are the subsequent purchasers of the TDR bonds, which were available on the DPMS portal of the 2nd respondent. 3. The 3rd respondent proposed a master plan for Tanuku Municipality on 08.10.2024 and issued GOMs.No.204. The lands WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch belonging to three families were affected in the proposed road widening, and the landlords gifted the affected portion of land in favour of the 4th respondent. The landlords were issued the TDR Certificates in lieu of the land gifted to the Municipality. All the land owners were allotted TDRs in the 1:4 ratio. 4. The CARD Value of the land was taken as a base price, and TDRs at 1:4 for the land gifted were issued to the landlord. The 2nd respondent made the TDR certificates visible on the DPMS website, and they are available for purchase by anyone. The transaction of buying and selling TDRs is conducted through the online process on the DPMS website of the 2nd respondent. Some petitioners purchased the TDR bonds as they were available on the website for utilisation. 5. The learned senior counsel submits that the Municipal Authority has also verified the genuineness of the TDRs by cross-verifying the TDRs submitted by the builders on an online platform. It is submitted that the petitioners are bonafide purchasers of TDRs; however, they have been subjected to untold hardship by the respondent authorities. 6. An enquiry was ordered on the premise that the officers of the Municipality and the landlords had manipulated records, and the respondent authorities had issued TDRs at a higher ratio than WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch the eligible ratio. An enquiry officer was appointed who submitted a preliminary report that the landlords were entitled to TDRs at a 1:2 ratio. Most of the petitioners had sold the TDRs and utilised them for construction purposes at different places in the state. The respondent authorities screened the building permission issued to the petitioners from the web portal. Further enquiry was proposed in pursuance of the preliminary report. 7. Aggrieved by the unilateral action on part of the respondent authorities, batch of writ petitions WP.No.18031 of 2022 and batch were filed before this Court, which were disposed off 19.03.2024 directing the 1st respondent as per the oral undertaking of the learned Advocate General, to complete the enquiry after issuance of notices to both the awardees of TDRs and petitioners relating to TDRs in Tanuku Municipality within a period of two months from the day of passing the order. 8. The respondents initiated a fresh inquiry to ascertain the eligibility of TDR bonds and also to ascertain whether the petitioners are bonafide purchasers or not. The enquiry report dated 10.05.2024 did not conclude on the issue of the petitioners' status as bonafide purchasers. On the basis of the enquiry report, the respondents have recalled the TDRs issued earlier and issued fresh TDRs at a 1:2 ratio to the landlords. The WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch reissuance of TDRs could result in landlords utilising them once again, and the buyers of the TDRs would have to face the consequences. As such, the petitioners have also filed for consequential direction seeking a declaration of reissuance of TDR bonds to the landlords as illegal. As the reissuance of TDRs created further confusion, the respondents have put in abeyance the reissued TDRs. 9. The learned senior counsel submits that the petitioners have purchased the TDR bonds as were made available on the website by the respondent authorities. The petitioners, having been satisfied with the genuineness of the TDRs, which were visible on the web-portal and open for all for purchase and utilisation, the respondents cannot turn around and claim that fraud was played by the landlords for the issuance of TDRs at a 1:4 ratio instead of a 1:2 ratio. It is submitted that the petitioners cannot be penalised for the acts, deeds, actions or inactions on the part of the official respondents in handling the issue of TDRs issued to the landlords in lieu of surrender of the said land by the landlords for public purposes. 10. The enquiry report would indicate that the landlords have mentioned a door number which resulted in escalation of the cost of the site enormously. It is also stated that a separate WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch investigation is in progress, and it was finally held that the landlords who lost their lands in the master plan for the Garden and Compost yard would be entitled to TDRs at a 1:2 ratio. 11. The committee recommended mentioning the survey number of land acquired instead of the door number specified in TDR, and also reduced the percentage of TDR to a 1:2 ratio. 12. The learned senior counsel further submits that the value of reissued TDRs is now unilaterally reduced, and the reissued TDRs are now sought to be encashed at the rate of Rs . 1136/- per square yard. It is submitted that the square yard rate at the time of acquisition was significantly higher; however, the state's attempt to revise the TDRs at a unilaterally arrived-at rate is illegal, arbitrary, and deserves to be set aside. 13. Sri.O.Manohar Reddy, learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of petitioners in WP.No.4999 of 2025, submits that the petitioners cannot be penalised for the alleged irregularities committed by the officers of the state. The petitioners are bonafide purchasers and have purchased the TDRs online from Visakhapatnam. It is submitted that TDRs are immovable property, and the value of the immovable property cannot be unilaterally revised by the state. It is submitted that the 2nd respondent maintains a register for registration of TDR WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch transactions. Once the TDRs and the corresponding value are entered in the register, the state has no power or authority to revise the value and subsequent purchasers cannot be put to loss. Learned senior counsel further submits that the TDR certificates are the legitimate rights conferred by the state, which can be transferred or traded online. The state cannot deprive the purchasers of the TDRs of their right. 14. Learned Advocate General appearing for the state, along with Sri.A.Srikanth Reddy, learned Government Pleader, submits that the writ petitions are not maintainable for non-joinder of the necessary parties. It is submitted that the landlords are not made party respondents to the writ petition, more so when fraud is alleged against them by the state, and as such, the writ petition deserves to be dismissed on this ground alone. 15. It is also submitted that the petitioners have not verified the TDRs and have not sought any prior permission from the state. It is also submitted that the bonafides of the petitioners cannot be established as the landlords have purchased the land one month prior to the issuance of TDR bonds. It is also submitted that the landlords have mentioned door numbers instead of survey numbers, resulting in an abnormal increase in the value of land, necessitating the issuance of TDR bonds at a higher ratio. WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch 16. It is submitted that the lands were purchased vide registered sale deeds within one month of the draft master plan, with a sole motive of executing gift deeds to the Municipality with an eye on the TDR bonds. It is also submitted that the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the State is inquiring into the fraud. The disputed TDR bonds would have to be cancelled. The state has, after determining the eligibility of the landlords, rightly cancelled the earlier issued TDR bonds and reissued the TDR bonds at the eligible ratio to the landlords. 17. Learned senior counsel for the petitioners in reply submits that the sanction of the Government is not required in view of amendment to Rule 168(e) reads as follows ; 168(e) – For the sites required by the Government/ULB for weaker sections or social housing, any other urban infrastructure development such as water supply, sewerage, education, health or any public purpose: equivalent to 400% of such areas surrendered. However, in case of sites covered by existing slums wherein, ULB proposed for removal and redevelopment of slums with a sanctioned redevelopment plan for the area proposed to surrender in such cases land owners is eligible for 100% of such areas covered by slums. In above such cases the proposal shall be submitted to Government with justification report through the DTCP for approval before considering for issue of TDR. 18. It is also submitted that the state has so far not initiated any action on the alleged illegality, fraud, or misrepresentation by any of the landlords, except for repeatedly harping on the alleged fraud committed by the landlords. It is also submitted that the WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch stand of the state is contrary to the proceedings dated 20.12.2024, whereby the 3rd respondent in categorical terms had held that the lands in question are surrounded by the layouts (LP.No.50/2005, 55/2007, 140/2012, 126/2014, 25/2017, TLP.1172/0014/LP/TKU/2022, 26/2021 and 2/2023) approved by the DTCP and are developing rapidly as a residential area. The 3rd respondent also forwarded the assessment record. 19. The relevant portion of said proceedings reads as follows ; The assessment nos. against each door number have been obtained from the Revenue Section of Tanuku Municiipality and the following information is ascertained in the reference 11th cited. The field inspection disclosed that there are still residential houses, AC sheet sheds denoting that the land has been under residential/commercial use. The land on which these sheds and houses are located, have been given assessment numbers by the Urban Local Body. According to the Revenue note remarks in the 9th cited above, the subject lands fall under the following door Nos.1-14-15/6 (Assessment No.1081019485), 1-25- 5 (Assessment No.1081005197) Door No.1-25-9 (1081005235) and 1-25-11 covered under assessment No.1081005248 and within the respective assessment Nos.these lands are located within the same survey Nos. and mapped in Revenue locality map No.1. A topo-detailed plan has been prepared and submitted herewith. Photographs of the structures situated on the garden zone and covering the field inspection are also attached for ready reference. The lands in question are surrounded by the layouts (LP Nos.50/2005, 55/, 2007, 140/2012, WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch 126/2014, 25/2017, TLP 1172/0014/LP/TKU/2022, 26/2021 and 2/2023) approved by the DTCP and are developing rapidly as a residential area, with the site is connecting to Tanuku-Bhimavaram Road is within 100 feet. The registrar of Tanuku furnished market value before the lands were handed over to the local body. There is 60’ master plan road and existing BT, road is 40’. In view of this, the area has tremendous growth having feasibility for any kind of development (commercial, lease development etc.). The un- official land value of the site is Rs.18 to 20 thousand per square yard. The sites were brought under revenue assessment and door numbers were too allotted. The assessment record is attached herewith for the kind perusal of the authorities. Further, the Registrar, Registration & Stamps, Tanuku has been addressed in the reference 14th cited to furnish the conditions under which the land value was fixed at the time of gift of the land and the rule position governing such a cost. In the reference 15th cited, the Registrar furnished detailed information with rule position and the circumstances under which the registration value was assessed, justifying the previous registration value fixed. The market values of the agricultural lands converted into house sites should be calculated applying the rates which are applicable to house sites, according to the Registrar. According to the registration department also, there is healthy growth in this particular area. Further, the Registrar clearly mentioned while addressing Point (a) of the letter 14th cited that “In the recitals of the above registered documents i.e., gift settlement deeds in favour of local bodies, it is commonly mentioned that “the scheduled property is executed in favour of the Tanuku Municipality with the consent of the municipal authority for the public purpose like road, open spaces, parks for approval of master plan without consideration”. Here in the recitals of the document, it is establishing that the property is developing to residential plots. And the WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch scheduled property mentioned in the document is meant for roads, parks, open-spaces which is evidencing that it was not a cultivating agricultural land in acres. Hence, it is evident that the schedule property is a site in square yards, hence it cannot be taken in acre for chargeability, but it should be taken in square yards. The reply received from the Registrar is attached herewith. 20. The proceedings dated 20.12.2024 make it clear that the state has been aiming in the dark without any goal. The purpose and motive of the state are unknown, but the petitioners are subjected to harassment and hardship. Learned senior counsels for the petitioners further submit that the essential ingredients of fraud are not proved by the state by their very inaction. The status of the investigation by the Anti-Corruption Bureau has not been placed before this Court except for submitting that the matter is under investigation with the Anti-Corruption Bureau. 21. Heard the learned senior counsels for petitioners, learned Advocate General and the learned Government Pleader for the official respondents. Perused the material on record. 22. The concept of TDR bonds has evolved, keeping in view the escalating cost of acquisition of land for public purposes and the entanglement in litigation during the course of the acquisition process. TDR allows landowners to transfer unused or additional construction rights from one property to another. These rights are usually issued by municipal authorities to WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch compensate landowners for land acquisition or restrictions on construction. For instance, if a property owner cannot utilise the full development potential of their land due to zoning restrictions, they can transfer the unused rights to another property where higher construction is permitted. 23. The landowners are compensated for surrendering land or adhering to zoning restrictions by receiving TDR certificates. Developers use TDR to increase FSI and maximise construction on permitted properties. TDR ensures adherence to zoning laws and balances urban planning. (i) Issuance of TDR Certificates: Municipal authorities issue TDR certificates to landowners as compensation for land surrendered for public infrastructure or other purposes. These certificates indicate the extent of development rights that can be transferred. (ii) Trading of Rights: Landowners can sell these rights to developers or other property owners who wish to increase the construction potential of their land. (iii) Utilisation of TDR: Developers utilise TDR to enhance the FSI of their project within the permissible limits set by the local authority. (iv) Benefits of Transferable Development Rights (TDR) Efficient Land Utilisation : Promotes optimal use of land resources in urban areas. (v) Increased Flexibility: Developers can use TDR to meet specific project requirements. (vi) Support for Public Projects: Landowners surrendering land for public infrastructure receive fair compensation. (vii) Urban Development Balance: Facilitates planned and sustainable urban growth. WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch 24. The introduction of TDR bonds has facilitated urbanisation, the development of infrastructure and public facilities, which have a direct impact on the quality of life of an individual. On the facts of the present writ petitions the respondents have issued TDR bonds at the ratio of 1:4. However, on suspicion of the fraud allegedly committed by the landlords, a preliminary inquiry was conducted and that the officers of the Municipality and the landlords connived with each other and executed gift deeds by mentioning a door number whereas survey number ought to have been mentioned. On this ground, an inquiry was supposedly to be conducted against the landlords for having mentioned the door numbers in the gift deeds. It is the case of the state that, on account of mentioning the door numbers, the value of the property had increased exponentially, and that TDR certificates at a 1:4 ratio were issued. 25. If that be the case, the state ought to have initiated action against the erring officers of the 3rd respondent and others concerned. No such efforts are evidently placed before this Court, except for stating that the Anti-Corruption Bureau has been entrusted to enquire into the involvement of the landlords and the officers. It is not explained what difference it would make if the door number were mentioned instead of the survey WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch number. When the extent of land gifted is in square yards, the survey number would have to be essentially mentioned for identifying the property with the survey number of the relevant village/area. The submission that the door number was mentioned only for increasing the value of the land and seeking TDR bonds at a higher ratio does not sustain the scrutiny of logic. The proceedings dated 20.12.2024 issued by the Commissioner, Tanuku Municipality, amply clarify the nature of the land gifted by the landlords. 26. It is not the case of the state that the petitioners have fabricated, forged or created fake TDRs and tendered them for utilisation. It is also not the case of the state that the TDR Certificates purchased by the petitioners were never available on the web portal of the 2nd respondent for sale. In such circumstances, the petitioners cannot be penalised for the actions or inactions of the officers of the respondents. For determining whether the petitioners are subsequent purchasers or not, it may not require a rowing enquiry, nor does it involve any rocket science. The factum of subsequent purchase by the petitioners can be ascertained from the very register maintained by the 2nd respondent in the DPMS web-portal. WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch 27. It is not in dispute that the petitioners are subsequent purchasers and have purchased the TDR bonds as were available on the web portal. The submissions of the learned Advocate General that the petitioners ought to have verified the genuineness of TDR bonds before going ahead and purchasing the TDR bonds are concerned, such a stand cannot withstand the scrutiny of law, logic and facts. The TDR bonds are displayed on the web portal and are maintained in the online register. Any bona fide purchaser can purchase them and put them to use. The state cannot disown the details available on its own web portal and now claim that the petitioners ought to have verified before purchasing the TDR bonds. 28. The submissions with regard to the fraudulent intention of the landlords for purchasing the lands within a period of one month from the proposed master plan cannot be relied upon for any purposes. The necessity of the acquisition of land for public purposes was made known to one and all in the proposed master plan. It cannot be disputed by the state that land was not required for public purposes. The land would have been acquired, and TDR certificates would have to be issued to the landlords whose names the land stood in on the date of acquisition of the land. That being said, no law prohibits a person WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch from buying any land and gifting it to the Municipality or any Urban Local Body within the same month. The fraud cannot be suspected solely on the basis that the property was purchased and gifted in the same month. 29. Regarding the other objection of the state regarding the non- joining of the landlords as party respondents, it is noted that the landlords have already sold their TDR bonds. By virtue of the reissuance of TDR bonds in favour of the landlords at a 1:2 ratio, the state has opened one more door for continuous litigation, which can arise in the event the landlords resell the reissued TDR bonds. The prayer of the petitioners is against the unilateral action on the part of the state in assuming fraud played by the landlords, reassessing the eligibility of TDR bonds, and unilaterally revising the market value to consider all these aspects; the stand of the landlords is not necessary. It is also not in dispute that the petitioners are claiming any relief against the landlords. Proceedings dated 20.12.2024 stare at the state, nullifying the stand of the state and clarifying the stand of the petitioners. 30. It is the responsibility of the state to indemnify the purchasers of the TDR bonds, such as the petitioners, from the actions or inactions on the part of its employees, which allegedly resulted in WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch pecuniary loss to the state. The proceedings dated 20.12.2024 are categorically clear, vivid and unambiguous. In such circumstances, the state ought not to have reassessed the eligibility ratio of TDR bonds and reduced the entitlement of the landlords from 1:4 to 1:2. The action of the state in cancelling the building permission of the petitioners also deserves to be set aside. The TDR bonds, which were cancelled, deserve to be restored for full utilisation. 31. Accordingly, the batch of writ petitions are allowed as prayed for. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE HARINATH.N Dated 24.09.2025 KGM WP.No.25101 of 2024 and batch THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE HARINATH.N WRIT PETITION Nos.25101, 30841, 23029, 25481, 29652, 29657, 29659, 29787 of 2024 and 4994, 5209, 5212, 5216, 5227, 5309, 5420 of 2025 Dated 24.09.2025 KGM
