No.9798 of 2010 (Y) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 23rd day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioners submit that they applied for a building permit to the 1st respondent Panchayat. According to the petitioners, the permit application and the plan submitted were forwarded by the 1st respondent to the 3rd respondent for his concurrence. It is stated that since the 3rd respondent has not considered the same, the Panchayat has not passed orders thereon. It is with this grievance, this writ petition has been filed. 2. If as stated by the petitioners, the 3rd respondent has received the permit application and plan submitted by the petitioners from the 1st respondent, there is no reason why the 3rd respondent should delay consideration of the application. 3. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 3rd respondent, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, shall consider the permit application and the plan submitted by the petitioners, which are forwarded by the 1st WP(C) No.9798/2010 -2- respondent, and forward his comments on the same to the 1st respondent, who shall on receipt thereof, pass final orders in the matter. The petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before respondents 1 & 3 for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above.
