RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.S. TO JUDGE Kss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 18534 OF 2008 F = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 14th day of July 2008 J U D G M E N T Ext. P1 order passed by the respondent Panchayat is under challenge. By this order an application filed by the petitioner for a building permit to construct a Tower has been rejected. Though the counsel for the petitioner entered appearance and sought time for filing counter affidavit. I do not think, in the nature of the order I propose to pass, a further adjournment of the matter is necessary. 2. A reading of Ext. p1 shows that by this communication the Secretary has conveyed to the petitioner the decision to reject the petitioner's application. However, no reason whatsoever is stated in Ext. P1 for rejecting the petitioner's application and for that reason Ext. P1 deserves to be set aside and I do so. It is directed that the Panchayat shall consider the application made by the petitioner, and pass orders containing reasons and communicate the same to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 2 weeks of W.P.(C) No. 18534 OF 2008 -2- production of a copy of this judgment. 3. Writ petition is disposed of as above. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the respondent Panchayat for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
