NANDAKUMARA MENON (SENIOR ADVOCATE) FOR R1-R3 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P(C).No.29955 of 2006 ================== Dated this the 11th day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking revocation of the permit for construction of a building, issued to the 4th respondent by the 1st respondent. The permit itself expired on 6.7.2008. Therefore, I directed the counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing for the Corporation to inform this Court as to whether the permit has subsequently been renewed. Today the learned senior counsel appearing for the Corporation submits that although the permit had not been renewed after 6.7.2008, in an appeal filed by the 4th respondent before the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions, against orders cancelling the permit, the Tribunal had directed reconsideration of the matter after setting aside the earlier order and therefore, fresh orders have to be passed on the continuance of the permit as directed by the Tribunal. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to take a fresh decision in the matter of continuance of the permit issued to the 4th respondent in accordance with the direction of the Tribunal after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the 4th respondent as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
