She would further say that it was completed in all respects in February, 2007 and a completion certificate in that regard is submitted to the Panchayat. The respondent is statutorily bound to assign number to the building without delay. But for reasons best known, the respondent did not assign number to the building. Petitioner has submitted Ext.P3 requesting the Secretary to assign number. Petitioner relies on Section 235 of the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act for contending that she is entitled to get the building numbered. Petitioner has a case that she had taken money in advance for constructing the building. Though notice has been served, there was no appearance for the respondent. The writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P3 in accordance with law within a WPC. 17206/07. 2 period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
