WP(C) 3826/2007 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE A. C. UPADHYAY (Ranjan Gogoi, J.) Heard Mr. C. K. S. Baruah, learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner, Ms. A. Aji tsaria, learned counsel appearing for the respondent Nos.1 and 2 and Mr. S. Bora , learned counsel appearing for the respondent Nos.3 & 4. Service of notice on respondent No.5 has been accepted under the provisions of O rder V Rule 9(v), C.P.C. The grievance raised in the writ petition is short and simple. The petitioner an d the respondent No.5 are brothers who own contiguous plots of land measuring 1 Katha 6.25 Lechas each. According to the petitioner, the respondent No.5 has sta rted a construction on his plot of land after obtaining building permission from the concerned authority. However, in raising the construction he had omitted to leave side margin of one meter as required under the relevant Building Bye-laws and Regulations of the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority. It is the further case of the petitioner that he had filed a complaint in this regard befo re the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority on the basis of which notice dated 27.2.2006 was issued by the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority to the respondent No.5. According to the petitioner, the respondent No.5, on recei pt of the said notice, has submitted his reply which is on record. The said repl y, as it appears, was received by the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authorit y on 13.3.2006. In the aforesaid facts the petitioner contends that the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority has not adjudicated the matter and has not p assed final orders leaving the petitioner with no option but to move this Court by means of the present writ petition. If a notice had been issued to the respondent No.5 by the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority under the provisions of the Guwahati Metropolitan Developm ent Authority Act and the same has been replied to by the noticee there can be n o doubt that final orders in the matter are required to be passed. This has not been done. No affidavit has been filed on behalf of the Guwahati Metropolitan De velopment Authority nor any record has been laid before the Court to show the co ntrary. In such circumstances, the only conceivable order that this writ petitio n will call for is to direct the competent authority of the Guwahati Metropolita n Development Authority to pass final orders in the matter within a period of fo ur weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Such final orders will, natural ly, be passed after following all requirements of law. Once such final orders are passed by the concerned authority it will be open for the parties to avail of such legal remedies as may be open to them in law again st the order that will be passed. The writ petition shall stand disposed of with the above directions.
