SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.22592 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of July, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioners surrendered certain properties to the 1 st respondent Corporation. According to the petitioners, this was subject to the condition that the petitioners would be given exemption from Building Rules in the matter of construction in the balance property. The petitioners thereafter applied for building permit. The petitioners grievance in this writ petition is that building permit is not being issued to the petitioner. The petitioners, therefore, submitted Ext.P1 representation before the 1 st respondent seeking either a building permit or return of the land surrendered by the petitioners. The petitioners now seek a direction to the 1 st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P1 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 1 st respondent also apart from the learned Government Pleader. W.P.(c)No.22592/08 2 In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1 st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioners shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 1 st respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.22592/08 3
