THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: KURIAN JOSEPH & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. -------------------------------------------- W.A. No.1392 of 2009 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 2nd July, 2009. J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, J. Appellant is the writ petitioner. In the nature of the order we propose to pass, we do not think it necessary to serve notice on the respondent. The only prayer is for a direction to the respondent to take a decision on Ext.P3 application for building permit. It is submitted that the application has been pending since 30.4.2009. The learned Single Judge directed the Secretary of the Panchayat to take a decision within two months from the date of receipt of the judgment. In view of the urgency in the matter, the appellant prays that a direction may issued to the Secretary of the Panchayat to take an expeditious decision. As the application is said to be pending since 30.4.2009, it is only appropriate that the Panchayat takes a decision in accordance with law expeditiously. Therefore, in partial modification of the direction issued by the learned Single Judge, there will be a direction to the respondent to take a decision on Ext.P3 application in accordance with law within two weeks from the WA NO.1392/09 2 date of production of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ appeal and writ petition. The writ appeal is disposed of as above. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE. tgs KURIAN JOSEPH & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ---------------------------------------------- W.A.
