BY GP SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).5649/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of October, 2008 JUDGMENT A building, belonging to the petitioner, bearing Panchayath Assessment No.246 in Ward No.10 of the Pathiyoor Panchayat was originally leased out by the petitioner to the Home Department for using the same as Kareelakulangara Police Station. Accordingly, the said building was notified as Police Station under Section 2(s) of the Cr.P.C. Petitioner later sought for vacant possession of the building. Ultimately Government issued Ext.P3 directing the shifting of the Kareelakulangara Police Station to another building No.CP-382/A in Ward No.2 of Chingoli Panchayat. Ext.P3 notification is issued in 2007. Petitioner's grievance is that in spite of notifying another building, as Kareelakulangra Police Station, he has not been given vacant possession of the premises belonging to him. 2. Learned Government Pleader, on instructions, W.P.(C).5649/2008 2 submits that another suitable building has been procured and that steps have been taken to shift the police station to the said place. This will be done as early as possible. Submission is recorded. 3. In the circumstances, writ petition is disposed of directing respondents 2 and 3 to ensure that Kareelakulangara Police Station is shifted from the petitioner's building to another suitable place as is found appropriate by the authorities without further delay, at any rate, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
