BY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11-4-2008 THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, J. ----------------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No. 13127 OF 2008 ----------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of April, 2008 J U D G M E N T Having considered the averments in the writ petition and the submissions addressed by the learned counsel for the petitioner I am of the view that the issue between the petitioner and the 2nd respondent will have to be settled by a competent civil court. But the grievance of the petitioner is that even before the directions in Ext.P1 judgment of this court are complied with the Panchayat is about to encroach upon the petitioner's property. In this circumstance I dispose of the writ petition without going into the merits of the case directing the second respondent to maintain status quo obtaining as on today regarding that portion of the Sankaramangalam – Adippara Road which goes protruding the petitioner's property till such time as the Panchayat is complied with the directions in Ext.P1 judgment. Petitioner is permitted to send a copy of this judgment by registered post acknowledgment due. (PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE) ksv/
