Kanta Devi Malpani and according to that, the BDA is now the concerned Authority to proceed further with regard to the said Development Right Certificates as per aforesaid Rule 9. 4. The said Rule recently enacted by the State Government apparently confers the said jurisdiction now to the Planning Authority which is BDA. 5. 4. The said Rule recently enacted by the State Government apparently confers the said jurisdiction now to the Planning Authority which is BDA. 5. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that as far as the three Transferrable Development Right Certificates (TDRs) in question, Annexures N, O and P are concerned, since veracity of the same was already authenticated by the BBMP, prior to notifying of aforesaid Rule 9, therefore the BDA should issue requisite TDRs to the petitioner forthwith. 6. This contention cannot be accepted, even if the verification was already done by the Respondent - BBMP. In view of the newly enacted Rules, now the jurisdiction vests with BDA to issue the necessary Development Right Certificates after due verification. The applicability and operation of said Rule 9 cannot be overlooked. Therefore, the petitioner obviously has to now approach the BDA in pursuance of the communication given to her by the BBMP on 16.06.2017 and a copy of which is already endorsed to BDA also by the BBMP. 7. The learned counsel for the petitioner further contended that the petitioner's case is covered by Clause 9 (b) of the "2016 Rules" quoted above. 8. It will be for the petitioner to approach the concerned Authority, namely, BDA and the competent Authority will consider the case of the petitioner as per Rule 9 expeditiously within three months from today. 9. With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of. No costs.
