ASSISTANT EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, CORPORATION OF COCHIN, ZONAL OFFICE, FORT KOCHI. BY SC S RAMESH BABU ADV. SMT.M.K.PUSHPALATHA,SC,COCHIN CORPORATION FOR R1,2 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO. 19707 OF 2009 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 4TH DAY OF AUGUST, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner has shown that he was issued a building permit. He says that he carried out a construction and completion certificate was submitted by him and duly certified by the Licencing Engineer in November, 2008. He pleads that there is inordinate delay in considering the case of numbering the building. I am clear in my mind that laws do not permit the question of certifying the completion of building by the Corporation and consequently numbering of the building to be dragged on indefinitely, to the peril of the owner. Resultantly, it is ordered that the petitioner's request for numbering the building will be considered and a decision issued within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, failing which the respondents would be liable to pay costs of this writ petition.
