Advocate Sreeram Viswanath K answered
A Writ Petition asking the concerned authorities to consider your application seeking can be filed. Once directed by the High Court to consider your application, the concerned authority can either accept or reject your application. If the application is accepted, you can continue with the construction. If the same is rejected, you can challenge the rejection before the High Court.Kindly note that the advice is based on limited facts. Mere challenging of the rejection order before the concerned High Court does not automatically provide approval. Kindly consult an advocate and provide complete documents to enable the advocate to understand the facts better.
