This writ petition is filed to set aside the revocation order bearing Lr. No. 464785/GHMC/21760/2024 dated 21.04.2025, issued by respondent No.3, as illegal, arbitrary, without jurisdiction, and in violation of the principles of natural justice; and consequently, to direct respondent Nos.1 to 3 to restore the building permission granted to the petitioner under Application No.464785/GHMC/21760/2024 and Permit No.464785/10993/GHMC/2024 dated 21.12.2024, and to ensure that the same is reflected in the TS-bPASS portal/GHMC records forthwith.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, in an earlier round of litigation in W.P. No. 20132 of 2025, this Court passed an order dated 11.07.2025, suspending the speaking order dated 07.07.2025 issued by Respondent No. 3, and directed that the seals affixed to the petitioner’s property be removed. In compliance with the said order, the property was unsealed, and possession was restored to the petitioner.

No. 2974 of 2025 dated 18.02.2025.
