Shankar v. Deputy Commissioner
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Karnataka disposed of a writ petition where the petitioner sought a direction to the Deputy Commissioner to grant permission for constructing a residential house. The Court held that the District Municipality, not the Deputy Commissioner, is the proper authority for such grants and directed the petitioner to file a proper application with necessary documents.
What did the court decide?
The petitioner was directed to make a proper application to the second respondent seeking grant of license for construction enclosing all necessary documents.
