C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.15075 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated 14th June, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioners who are joint owners of property having an extent of 44 cents comprised in Survey Nos.84/1-8, 84/1, 84/1-6 and 84/1-7 of Tholicode Village in Thiruvananthapuram District filed this writ petition on being aggrieved by the delay in the matter of consideration of the application for building permit submitted by them on 6.10.2010. 2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, the learned standing counsel appearing for the first respondent and the learned standing counsel for the second respondent. 3. Considering the fact that the petitioners have already submitted an application for building permit before the first respondent and considering the contention that all the relevant documents were produced along with the said application I am inclined to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to consider the application submitted by the petitioners for building permit on 6.10.2010 and pass orders thereon expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
