Ensure building permissions are conspicuously displayed at construction sites: HC to GHMC, CMC, MMC Commissioners
The High Court has ordered municipal commissioners in Hyderabad to ensure that all building permissions are conspicuously displayed at construction sites. Authorities are instructed to halt construction on any site that fails to comply with these transparency requirements.
Why it matters
This judicial intervention aims to curb illegal construction and ensure urban development follows sanctioned plans.
Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy of the High Court directed the Commissioners of Greater Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Malkajgiri municipal corporations to instruct their respective deputy commissioners and town planning officers to display building permissions granted to owners at the construction sites.
If the same were not displayed, the authorities should temporarily stop the ongoing construction, the judge said in the order. The judge made it clear that property owners of sites spread over less than 75 square yards (which do not require any building permission) should also display their permissions (provisional certificate of registration) on the construction site, the judge said.
