R1 BY ADV.MR.MILLU DANDAPANI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C) No.7303 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 3rd March, 2008 JUDGMENT Mr.Millu Dandapani enters appearance on behalf of the 1st respondent-Corporation. In the nature of the orders which are being passed in this Writ Petition, I am of the view that it is not necessary to issue notice to the 2nd respondent. The grievance voiced by the petitioner is that the construction of drains by the 1st respondent- Corporation on the property on which they have set up a 400 K.V. Sub Station at Pallikkara has been so close to his own residential properties, that the construction is resulting in considerable prejudice and hardship to the petitioner. I do not propose to go into genuineness of the above grievance. The petitioner has submitted Ext.P2 representation before the Panchayat complaining about the construction of the drain by the 1st respondent. Ext.P2 was followed by Ext.P5 also. Since Exts.P2 and P5 are apparently pending before the Panchayat, the Secretary of the 2nd respondent-Panchayat is directed to take up Exts.P2 and P5 immediately, issue notice to the petitioner as well as to the 1st respondent and take a decision. Decision as directed above shall be taken at the earliest and at any rate within one month of the petitioner producing a copy of this W.P.C.No.7303/08 - 2 - judgment together with a copy of the Writ Petition and all the exhibits. The 1st respondent is reminded that they will be responsible for any damage which may be caused to the petitioner on account of construction of the drains in the present fashion either on the basis of the decision to be taken by the 2nd respondent or on the basis of the decision of any civil court which the petitioner may prefer to move at a later stage. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
