KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C) No.7642 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 6th March, 2008 JUDGMENT Not admitted. Adv.Mr.Siby Mathew, Standing Counsel takes notice on behalf of the respondents. The grievance voiced by the petitioner who owns properties and is desirous of putting up of a high rise building by the side of Maliakal M.A.Cherian Road is that on account of encroachments into that road by 10 persons who owns properties by the sides of that road, the width of the road has become narrow down. I do not propose to go into the genuineness of the petitioner's grievance or the merits of the grounds raised since Ext.P1 representation submitted by the petitioner is apparently pending. I dispose of the Writ Petition itself directing the 2nd respondent, the Secretary of the Municipality to conduct immediate local inspection so that prima facie the correctness of the allegations can be verified. If on local inspection, it is seen that the allegations are prima facie correct, the 2nd respondent will issue notice to the 10 persons mentioned in Ext.P1, initiate proceedings and bring those proceedings to their logical and without undue delay. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
