THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.24783 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a person residing by the side of the Pamba river. Formerly, the petitioner and others residing on the banks of the Pamba river had road access on both sides of the river. However, on account of the construction of the 'Thakazhy' bridge their road access has been seriously curtailed. Although the respondents had promised construction of service roads on both sides for access to the main approach road to the bridge, nothing has materialised so far, is the grievance of the petitioner in the writ petition. The petitioner has filed Ext.P1 representation before the Hon'ble Minister for Co-operation/Devaswom, who had forwarded the same to the concerned Ministry by Ext.P2 communication. The petitioner now seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. After hearing both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with W.P.9c)No.24783/08 2 a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P1, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 1st respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.9c)No.24783/08 3
