Sdk+ ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P(C).No.34320 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 27th day of November, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioners' grievance in these writ petitions is that the applications submitted by the petitioners for building permit have been rejected relying on Ext.P2 order of the Government of Kerala, which has been quashed by this Court. According to the petitioners, the 1st respondent cannot reject the applications for building permit on the basis of a Government order which has been quashed by this Court. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 1st respondent also. The 1st respondent does not dispute the facts that Ext.P2 order has been quashed by this Court and orders rejecting the petitioners' applications have been passed solely based on Ext.P2. That being so, Ext.P1 in all the writ petitions are quashed and the 1st respondent is directed to consider the applications for building permit submitted by the petitioners afresh in accordance with law, without reference to Ext.P2 Government order, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. The writ petitions are disposed of as above. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge 2
