Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 5688 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 26th February, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner constructed a residential building. On the complaint of the 3rd respondent that the construction was in violation of the building rules, proceedings were initiated against the petitioner. The 3rd respondent earlier approached this Court and by Ext. P4 judgment, this Court directed the Panchayat to pass final orders in the matter within the time stipulated therein. The grievance of the petitioner is that without passing orders thereon, the Panchayat is taking further proceedings as evidenced by Exts.P5 and P6. The petitioner submits that without passing orders as directed in Ext. P4 judgment, the 1st respondent cannot take further proceedings in the matter. Petitioner has also filed Ext. P7 petition seeking regularisation of the construction, if the same is irregular. 2. Learned standing counsel for the Panchayat submits that orders have already been passed and a copy of the same is, today, handed over to the learned counsel for the petitioner. Of course, counsel for the petitioner would contend that the same has not been formally communicated to the petitioner. However, for the present, the petitioner would be satisfied with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P7 as expeditiously as possible. 3. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the 3rd respondent at this juncture. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P7 after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the W.P.C. No. 5688/09 -: 2 :- 4th respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till orders are thus passed, further proceedings pursuant to the impugned orders shall be kept in abeyance. S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
