SRI.MATHEW G.VADAKKAL THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/12/2006, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, J. ---------------------------------- W.P.(C)NO. 34037 of 2006 ---------------------------------- Dated this 20th day of December, 2006 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner is that even though the 4th respondent – Secretary of the Panchayat and the 3rd respondent – Revenue Divisional Officer were alerted by the successive representations, they have not taken any action so far for removing the allegedly illegal constructions put up by respondents 5 to 7 with the assistance of respondents 8 and 9. 2. I do not propose to examine the genuineness of the above grievance. Since Ext.P7 is seen pending before the 4th respondent it is only appropriate that the 4th respondent takes an early decision on Ext.P7. Accordingly, this writ petition will stand disposed of with the following directions:- The 4th respondent will immediately take up Ext.P7, issue notice to respondents 5 to 8, hear all of them and the first petitioner and take an early decision on Ext.P7 in accordance with law. Decision as directed above will be taken by the 4th respondent at the earliest and at any rate within one month of WPC No.34037/2006 2 the party respondents entering appearance in response to the notice.
