PLEADER SRI.I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/10/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.29927 OF 2009 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of October, 2009 JUDGMENT Notice to the respondents dispensed with preserving their right for re-hearing of the matter, if aggrieved. The petitioner is aggrieved by the inaction of the municipality on his application for permission to construct a building or put the land to use. He says that Ext.P1 was filed requesting that the land may either be acquired or the freezing may be lifted to enable him and his sister to deal with the property by disposing it off on the strength of title. I do not think that such application should continue for long. Accordingly, without expressing anything on merits, this writ petition is disposed of directing that Ext.P1 will be taken up, considered and decision taken of in accordance with law within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
