DEEPA, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) 22294 of 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- Dated: JULY 24, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner submits that he has applied for a building permit to the respondent Panchayat. According to him, that was returned on the ground that the land has been classified as “nilam” and that he had not obtained an order under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order. In order to cure the aforesaid defect, petitioner submits that he had submitted Ext.P1 before the Revenue Divisional Officer, seeking an order under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order in respect of the five cents of land which is mentioned therein. 2. Though he is seeking an order against the Panchayat to reconsider the matter taking into account the nature of the land, as it is prevailing today, since Ext.P1 is pending before the 2nd respondent, I feel that at this stage what is required to be done is to direct the 2nd respondent to WP(C) 22294/08 2 consider Ext.P1 and pass orders thereon. 3. In view of the above, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P1 with notice to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, and at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, provided Ext.P1 has been received and is pending. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 2nd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE mt/-
