RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS NIL TRUE COPY P.A. TO JUDGE tss C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.36985 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated 10th January, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner who is running a poultry farm at Koovappally is aggrieved by Ext.P8 order. Ext.P8 is in fact, a show cause notice issued to the petitioner. Feeling aggrieved by Ext.P8 order the petitioner has preferred Ext.P9 appeal under section 276(1) of the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act before the second respondent. Admittedly, the said appeal preferred by the petitioner is still pending before the second respondent. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned standing counsel for the respondents. As already noticed, Ext.P9 appeal preferred by the petitioner on being aggrieved by Ext.P8 order is pending before the second respondent. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9 appeal expeditiously, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In case the petitioner seeks an opportunity of being heard, the same shall also be afforded. Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS
