2. The main prayer in this writ petition is against Ext.P4 communication by which the 1 st respondent took a stand that the terms of development agreement were not W.P.(C).No.26224/2020 3 fulfilled by the 2nd respondent and the above land is classified as Nilam in the possession certificate. Hence this writ petition.

2. The 2nd respondent is directed to grant building permit to the petitioner notwithstanding the failure or non compliance of conditions, if any, mentioned by the 2 nd respondent company or a third party, if the application is otherwise in order.
