MANOJ KUMAR - SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/04/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.11824 OF 2009 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of April, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P2 memo issued by the 3rd respondent, whereby the petitioner has been directed to stop construction of a building for which the petitioner had been given a permit. That was issued on 1.7.2008. By Ext.P7 dated, 7.10.2008, the petitioner has been informed that pursuant to a complaint received from a residents' association, Town Planning Surveyor has been directed to measure the property on 20.10.2008. The petitioner's contention is that even thereafter nothing is happening. The petitioner, therefore, now seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to complete the proceedings initiated by Ext.P2 and continued by Ext.P7. 2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Corporation also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to complete the W.P.(c) No.11824/09 2 proceedings initiated by Ext.P2 and continued by Ext.P7 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
