GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT.K.R.DEEPA ADV.RAMESH BABU, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P(C).No.9456 of 2009 ================== Dated this the 24th day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioners and respondents 3 and 4 are residents of P.M.Colony at Thoppumpady, and are users of a lane by name, “P.M.Colony Lane”. The petitioners' grievance is that respondents 3 and 4 have encroached into that lane reducing the width of the lane, which results in difficulty for the petitioners, especially the 2nd petitioner who is a physically handicapped person, to use the pathway. Complaining about this, the 1st petitioner and others have filed Ext.P3 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioners seek a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 expeditiously. 2. I have heard learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 1st respondent and the learned Government Pleader. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to respondents 3 and 4 at this juncture. 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 1st respondent and the learned Government Pleader, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 petition, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month 2 from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners as well as respondents 3 and 4.
