For that purpose the petitioner has already submitted Ext.P6 application before the second respondent through the first respondent. However, no orders have been passed thereon. In the meanwhile, the Electrically Operated Travelling crane has reached the premises of the petitioner's building in question. The contention of the petitioner is that if it is kept in open space and subjected to rain and heat it might get ruined. As already noticed hereinbefore, for the purpose of getting the building numbered the petitioner has already approached the first respondent and to enable the first respondent to consider the question of allotment of number he has already moved the second respondent through Ext.P6 application. However, no WPC.No.12202/2011 : 2 : orders have been passed on Ext.P6. In the said circumstances, there will be a direction to the second respondent to consider Ext.P6 application and pass appropriate orders thereon, in accordance with law, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. In case, the petitioner produces all the requisite documents before the first respondent, the first respondent shall consider the question of issuance of building number to the building constructed by the petitioner in Survey No.195/5/2-3 of Valakam Village for the aforesaid purpose. This shall be done expeditiously, on production of all requisite documents at any rate, within a period of 6 weeks from the date of production of all the requisite documents. As already noticed, the Electrically Operated Travelling crane that reached the aforesaid premises if kept in the open space it might get weather-worn. According to the petitioner, he is willing to give an undertaking to the respondent that he would not operate the EOT crane without obtaining the permission and consent from the competent authority WPC.No.12202/2011 : 3 : including the first and second respondents for the purpose of averting such a situation and for getting permission to install the EOT Crane subject to the said condition/undertaking. In the said circumstances, taking note of the fact that keeping the Electrically Operated Travelling crane in an open space would, definitely ruin the crane, there will be a direction to the first respondent to consider the question of granting permission to erect EOT crane, in case, the petitioner submits an undertaking that he will not operate the same without obtaining requisite consent, permit, licence expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of three days from the date of receipt of such an undertaking. It is made clear that the petitioner will not be entitled to claim equity based on installation of the EOT crane. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) jma //true copy// P.A to Judge
