It is stated that immediately after the issuance of Ext.P1, Ext.P2 stop memo was issued by the Municipality on 16/06/2008 and that in view of Ext.P2, the petitioner could not proceed with the work. As the period of Ext.P1 is to expire, the petitioner submitted Ext.P3 requesting for extension of the validity period of Ext.P1. Orders on Ext.P3 has not been passed and therefore, this writ petition is filed. 2. I heard the learned standing counsel for the Municipality also. If as stated by the petitioner, by Ext.P3 extension of validity period of the building permit is sought for, the respondent Municiplity should have passed orders thereon. Having regard to the complaint that orders have not been passed on Ext.P3, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 1st respondent to pass orders on WP(C) No.4664/2010 -2- Ext.P3. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition.
