J U D G M E N T The petitioner is aggrieved by Ext. P5 stop memo issued by the 2nd respondent directing the petitioner to stop construction activities in the property in Sy. no. 929/2 on a telephonic direction by the 1st respondent. That was issued on 17-4-2010. I am of opinion that having issued the stop memo, the respondent has a duty to pass final orders within a reasonable time. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to finalise the proceedings initiated by Ext. P5 and pass final orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
