JUDGMENT The petitioner claims to be the owner in possession of a property having an extent of 14 ares situated in re-survey No. 15 in Block No.468 in Thrikkodithanam Village, Changanacherry Taluk. It is stated that a public thodu is passing adjacent to the property of the petitioner, situated in block No.468 in re-survey No.4 of the same village. The main complaint raised in the writ petition is that respondents 5 and 6 who are residing on the southern side of the above thodu and respondent No.7 who is residing on the northern side of the above thodu, are taking hasty steps to encroach over the thodu and make constructions therein. The petitioner has already moved the District Collector as per Ext.P1 to restrain them and failing to get any positive action in the matter, this writ petition has been filed. 2. There will be a direction to the first respondent to take a decision on Ext.P1 after hearing the petitioner and respondents 5 to 7 and after affording all opportunities to both parties to put forth their contentions in the matter. It will be open to the District Collector to direct any of the Revenue officials to conduct a local inspection and to get a report also in the wpc6899 /2010 2 matter. Appropriate decision will be taken within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
