The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation has sought legal opinion on what to do with the 12,000 applications submitted under the Building Regularisation Scheme 10 years ago. It has requested the law department to suggest whether the applications could be disposed of under the old BRS or the revised Building Penalisation Scheme.

In all, 26,029 applications were submitted to the erstwhile Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad under BRS in 1998, of which 12,145 were disposed of. This earned the MCH revenue of Rs 40.45 crore. While 3,585 applications were rejected on various grounds, nearly 12,000 are yet to be cleared. After it launched the recent BPS scheme, the GHMC was pilloried for keeping the earlier applications pending.

Critics of the scheme marveled at the temerity of the GHMC in launching a new scheme while thousands of applications relating to the old scheme were yet to be cleared. The government has decided to revise the rates of BPS after public criticism and this has prompted the GHMC to reopen the BRS files too. "We have asked the government to allow us to clear the BRS applications too," said the GHMC Chief City Planner, Mr Purushothama Reddy. "It is for the law department to decide the procedure to be adopted."

Mr Purushothama Reddy added that not all the pending BRS applications could be cleared even if the government gives a green signal. "There are cases where constructions have been made in parking areas and others which are caught in legal wrangles," he said.
