SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No. 29999 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of December, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the Secretary- in -charge of a Co-operative Society. Since the accommodation available for the Society in its building is not sufficient for its business, they wanted to construct first floor to their office building. They submitted an application for a building permit, which was granted by Ext.P1. However, by Ext.P2, the said permit was temporarily cancelled. Against that order, the petitioner approached this Court by filing W.P.(C) No.18934/2008 in which Ext.P3 judgment was passed directing the Secretary of the Panchayat to pass final orders taking note of the contention of the petitioner. Pursuant thereto, Ext.P4 order has been passed by the Secretary. Against the same, the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 appeal before the Panchayat Committee. The petitioner seeks a direction to the Panchayat Committee to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the respondents also. W.P.(c) No.29999/08 2 In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent – Panchayat to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 appeal as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. 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.(c) No.29999/08 3
