The Uttarakhand High Court has annulled the District Magistrate’s directive to issue a Fire NOC, citing procedural flaws.
The Uttarakhand High Court today quashed the District Magistrate’s order directing the issuance of a Fire NOC for a pending project. The court held that the DM’s directive was issued without proper legal basis and violated procedural norms.
In its judgment, the court emphasized that administrative orders must adhere to statutory requirements and cannot be issued arbitrarily. The decision means that the project in question will not receive the Fire NOC until the matter is re‑examined.
The ruling is expected to impact developers and local authorities who had been awaiting the NOC. The High Court’s order is final and binding on all parties involved.
