Considering the urgency which is projected before me by Sri. Ashok.M.Cherian counsel for the 1st respondent Panchayath , I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition itself in the following terms:- If the District Collector has already received Ext.P3, he will take up the same immediately, hear the petitioner and also the 1st respondent Panchayath and take a decision . In the meanwhile it is made clear that works if any, made by the 1st respondent Panchayath on the property in question will be without prejudice to the title and other rights which are claimed by the petitioner over the property. The question of title and entitlement for possession are left open to be decided in regular civil proceedings. To that extent the decision of the District Collector on Ext.P3 will be provisional.
