It is averred in the writ petition that there is a residential house therein which is in a dilapidated condition. The petitioner had been approaching the revenue authorities concerned for getting sanction from the first respondent to take soil at the level of properties situated in the Eastern, Northern and Western side adjacent properties. According to the petitioner, the house of the petitioner is in a very dangerous condition because of the threat of landslide as the adjacent property owners excavated soil from their own properties in huge quantities. When the petitioner started preparations on 16/02/2010 for removing earth from his properties to that of the adjacent property owners, a stop memo was issued as per Ext.P3. 2. The petitioner had already moved the authority concerned as per Ext.P2 in the matter. It is submitted that no action is being taken on Ext.P2. There will be a direction to the first respondent to take a decision on Ext.P2 with notice to the petitioner, in the light of the W.P.(C). No.5464/2010 -:2:- fact that the building itself as seen from the photos produced herein is evidently in a dangerous and dilapidated condition, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of this Judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
