No.1630 of 2010 (C) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 18th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner submits that in respect of shop room No.1 of a building belonging to the 1st respondent Panchayat, he had submitted a sealed tender, which was the highest. It is stated that the Panchayat resolved to accept his quotation and to allot the shop room. According to the petitioner, as directed by the Panchayat, he has remitted advance rent for three months also. 2. Despite all these, it is complained that the Panchayat has not executed lease agreement in his favour and therefore, he could not occupy the room in question. It is in these circumstances, he approached this Court for appropriate direction to the Panchayat to execute the lease agreement in respect of the aforesaid shop room as expeditiously as possible. 3. If as stated by the petitioner, he has submitted a quotation and the same has been accepted and has remitted the advance rent also as well, there is no reason why the matter should WP(C) No.1630/2010 -2- be delayed. Having regard to the above, I direct the Panchayat to take appropriate action in this matter and if the decision is to allot the shop room to the petitioner, take steps for execution of the lease deed as well. This the Panchayat shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
