Petitioner states that he has already issued a suit notice to the Panchayat on 24/03/2008 and that the notice has been acknowledged by the Panchayat. But since he will be able to go in for a suit only after a period of 30 days of the Panchayat receiving notice, he apprehends that during the interregnum respondents 1 and 2 will forcefully enter on his properties and cut open the new pathway or road which will result in even prospective suit be rendered infructuous. Ext.P1 document of title and the other documents produced along with the writ petition will show prima facie that the petitioner's claim of ownership and possession over the property is correct. Under these circumstances, I am inclined to direct respondents 1 and 2 to maintain status quo as obtaining today as regards the property which is the subject matter of this writ petition i.e. 71 cents in Sy.No.676/1 of Mulavukadu village till 26/04/2008.

In view that interim order, I dispose of the writ petition itself without granting further reliefs. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE sv.
