society for raising structures; that respondent No.3- Education Society is

intending to commence Cambridge curriculum in the school for benefit

of the students to gain exposure to intemational curriculum for which

Ll'.P.No.3281 ol2026

of the leased premises and obtained interim orders [ ) suppressing the

execution ol lease deed dated 12.10.2020 only to anrtwrstrespondent

No.3-Education society to succumb to its unlav lul requests and

surrender land as demanded by them and hence, pra ied to dismiss the

Writ Petition.

5. The petitioner-society filed reply to the counter filed by

respondent No.3-Education Society denying the avr,r nents made in the

counter and it is further stated that the issue relatin6. o renewal ol lease

and other disputed facts cannot be decided by this t ourt and the same

are subject matter of pending suifOS.No.797 ol'1018; that the trial

Court has passed interim order dated 13.11.2018 directing both the

parties to maintain status quo as on that date; the. respondent No.3-

Education Society by violating the interim ordcrr of status quo has

indulged in unlawlul acts including obtaining bui r ing permission for

construction of additional floors.

5.1. It is specifically stated that in fact, no rep()r t was submitted by

the sub-committee; that the Managing Committ,e has not passed

resolution renewing the lease deed in favour respondent No.3-

9

()

Education Society in its meeting held on 30.09. 1020; and that the

a\

l

LNA,J

W P. No.328l of2026

t0

purported lease deed dated 12. 10.2020 was signed by

president

and

Secretary of the previous Managing Committee, after constitution of

Person-in-charge committee with effect from 01.r0.2020, therefore, the

same has no basis and the tegality and genuineness of the same is

doubttul.

6. Rejoinder is filed on beharf of respondent No.3-Educarion Society

inter alia stating that the allegations of the petitioner-society that

renewal of the lease deed ought to have been signed by

president

acting

as person-in-charge and not by Secretary of the previous Managing

committee are all false, since there was no specific direction from

Co-Operative Department that it is only person-in-charge

who is

authorized to sign such document and more over, the renewed lease deed

was signed by one Hanumantha Rao, Secretary, in the capacity of Office

Bearer of the petitioner-society, therefore, the objection raised by the

petitioner-society in this regard is trivial and further, the renewed lease

deed, dated 12.10.2020, was duly stamped in accordance with law.

7. This Court is not inclined to refer to the various allegations and

counter allegations made in the reply-affidavit and rejoinder affidavit, as

this Court is not going to adjudicate upon those allegations, since the

*t/

LNA,J

tv. P.No. J)81 of2026

ll

same are factual in nature and are also subject matt,r o[ pending suit in

OS.No.787 of 2018

8. Leamed counsel for petitioner submitted thrr the lease deed in

lavour olrespondent No.3-Education Society expire( on 20.08.2017 and

there was no renewal of the said lease deed and tt' )refore, respondent

No.2 erred in granting building permission t(, respondent No.3-

Education Society without looking into the prinr lacie title of the

subject property and as such, the impugned order is i legal and arbitrary.

9. In support of his submission, learned counr;, I for the petitioner

relied upon the judgments of the erstwhile Hip,l Court ol' Andhra

Pradesh in Hyderabad Polteries Private Limi ed Vs. Collector,

Hyderabad and anothert and Rameshwar i 's. Commissioner,

10. Leamed senior counsel also specifically referr :d to Section 450 of

the GHMC Act, 1955, as per which, the Commiss.r ner has authority to

cancel or revoke permission, if such permission Ir,s been obtained by

material misrepresentation, fraudulent statements, c,r suppression of facts

reglding the property.

I l. Learned senior counsel further submitted that in the present case,

the lease deed expired on 20.08.2017 and the same was not renewed;

that the alleged renewed lease deed \2.|O.ZOZO is not registered,

therefore, it has no legal sanctity in view of Sections 17 and 49 of the

Registration Act and Section 107(3) of the Transfer of

property

Acr. He

further submitted that suppressing all the said material facts, respondent

No.3-Education Society obtained building permission. He further

submitted that the renewed lease deed was executed by Hanumantha

Rao, Secretary of the previous Managing Committee when, at the

relevant time, Person-in-Charge was at helm of affairs of the petitioner-

society, therefore, respondent No.3-Edcuation society has no valid title

over the leased premises which disentitles it from applying and

obtaining building permission.

I l.l. Leamed counsel further submitted that the ftle pertaining to

lease is missing from the office of petitioner-society and a criminal case

is also filed to that effect, therefore, suit lor eviction could not be trted,

however, the petitioner-society is taking steps to initiate appropriate

pqceedings for eviction.

11.2. Learned senior counsel further submitted 1at as per Section

429 of the GHMC Act, the Commissioner may requ re plans and other

documents to be fumished and as per Section 429-l',aa) of the GHMC

Act, a copy of title deed of land duly attested by p.i zette officer of the

Govemment together with Urban Land Ceiling c I arance Certificate,

as the case may be, should be filed along with the ap'; lication.

I 1.3. Learned senior counsel further submittecl that in the present

case, the petitioner-society filed an objection o r 17.08.2023 with

respondent No.2 not to grant building permission tt respondent No.3-

Education society and despite submitting the sanr, and without there

being any valid lease in favour of respondent No,. -Edcuation society,

the Commissioner accorded permission contrary to he provisions of the

GHMC Act and that too, without any notice to the : :titioner-society and

hence, the impugned building permit dated 20.11 .2124 is unsustainable

and the same is liable to be set aside.

12. Per contra, leamed counsel f,or responc:nt No.3-Education

Society submitted that as per Caluse-15 of the lease deed, the lease shall

be renewed for further term of 30 years at the r ption of lessee i.e.,

rdspondent No.3-Education society subject to cor: tliance of Caluses-2

I

LNA,J

W.P.No 3281 of 2026

t4

to 6, 12 and 13 thereof; that respondent No.3-society addressed letters

dated 17 .04.2015 and 27 .04.2017 with a request to renew the lease deed

for another term of 30 years, however, the petitioner_society gave reply

dated 16.07 -201 8 calting upon respondent No.3-society to surrender

3,000 square yards to renew the lease deed and also alleging non_

compliance of caluses-12 and l3 of the lease deed. He further submitted

that prior to letters seeking renewal, at no point of time, the petitioner-

society had pointed out non-compliance of any of the terms of the lease

deed and it had raised the alleged non-compliance for the first time after

addressing letters for renewal and the same is invented only for the

pulpose of forcing respondent No.3-Education society to surrender

3,000 square yards of land.

12.1. Leamed counsel for respondent No.3 has further specifically

contended that the Managing committee of the petitioner-society passed

resolution on 30.09.2020 renewing the lease deed, basing on report of

the sub-committee, and the renewed lease deed was executed on

12.10.2020 and the same was duly stamped and therefore, respondent

No.3-society has valid title entitling it to grant of building permission.

{

LNA,J

fi/.P.No.3281 of2026

12.2. Learned counsel further contended that re; )ondent No.2, taking

into consideration the documents submitted t I respondent No.3-

Education Society and the Undertaking-cum-ln(l

,mnity

Bond, dated

28.08.2024, of respondent No.3-Education Societl has rightly granted

building permission; that the petitioner-society ap:roached this Court

belatedly after respondent No.3-society raised str rctures substantially

over the lease premises, therefore, the Writ Petit i ln is devoid of any

merlt.

12.3 . Learned counsel further submitted th a the structures are

being raised only for the benefit of the str" r ents for providing

intemational Cambridge education programme. i ty submitting thus,

leamed counsel prayed to dismiss the Writ Petition

13. This Court is not inclined to delve nto the aspect of

genuinity/validity o[ the resolution dated 30.09.1] )20 or the renewed

lease deed dated 12. 10.2020, since the same are sut ject matter of suit in

OS.No.797 of 2018 and in view of lact that this lourt exercising the

writ jurisdiction under Article 225 of Constitution o India cannot decide

the disputed questions of fact.

e

\

LNA,J

lY.P.No.326l of 2026

14. Suffice to say that this Court is required to only adjudicate the

issue as to whether the Commissioner was right in granting permission

for construction to respondent No.3-Education Society.

I 5. Admittedly, there is no dispute with regard to lease deed in

favour of respondent No.3-Education society dated 21.08.1987 for a

period of 30 years and respondent No.3-society establishing a school

named Jubilee Hills Public School. As per Clause-l5 of the said lease

deed, the lease term can be extended for further term of 30 years at the

option of lessee i.e., respondent No.3-Education Society, subject to

compliance of Caluses-2 to 6, 12 and 13, therefore, the contention of the

petitioner-society that lease is renewable on mutual consent is incorrect.

16. As per Clause-8 of lease deed, the lessee is empowered to raise

structures for sefting up of school/educational institution and there is no

requirement for obtaining express written consent from the petitioner-

society. In the teeth of the said clause, the contention of petitioner-

society that respondent No.3-Education society cannot raise structures

without express consent of petitioner-society is untenable. However, the

fact remains that the lease deed expired on 20.08.2017 and the same was

l

.".r"*.) vide renewed lease deed dated 12.10.2020. As per Section 107

I

t7

of the Transfer of Property Act, any lease exceedin6,

is mandatorily registerable. It is pertinent to note tha

deed dated 12.10.2020 purported to have beert

petitioner-soc iety in lavour of respondent No.3-soci

the requirement of Section 107 of the Transfer ofPrl

Sections-17 and 49 ofthe Registration Act, though st

17. Furthermore, it is relevant to refer to Secticr

Act, as per which, the Commissioner may requi

produce title document of property lor which p t

sought by the applicant. Further, as per the rali,)

petitioner-society, however, respondent No.2-Commissioner granted

permission without relerring to the objections raised by the petitioner-

society, which is contrary to the ratio laid down in T.Rameshwar,s case

(cited supra), wherein it was held that the Commissioner is required to

consider objections as and when they are raised for grant of permission

on the ground of title in a pragmatic manner taking into consideration

only prima facle factors.
