MR.P.N.SANTHOSH, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.27071 of 2010 (H) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 31st day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that he was issued Ext.P9 No Objection Certificate in order to remove ordinary sand from his land for proceeding with his construction project. It is stated that for untenable reason, by Ext.P10 order dated 06/04/2010 the respondent suspended Ext.P9 NOC. In view of the above, the petitioner had to stop the work, and he submitted Exts.P11 & P12 representations before the respondent seeking revocation of Ext.P10 order of suspension and reinstatement of Ext.P9 NOC. Orders have not been passed on Exts.P11 & P12 representations, as a result of which, the petitioner is not in a position to proceed with his work. It is in these circumstances, complaining of delay in the matter, the writ petition has been filed. 2. As rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner, any delay in the finalization of the matter will prejudicially affect the petitioner. Having regard to the above, it is WP(C) No.27071/2010 -2- necessary that the matter shall be finalized by the respondent duly adverting to Exts.P11 & P12 representations. Therefore, I direct the respondent to consider Exts.P11 & P12 representations submitted by the petitioner for revocation of Ext.P10 order of suspension and for reinstatement of Ext.P9 NOC. This the respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
