KURIAKOSE, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 30994 OF 2007 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of October, 2007 JUDGMENT The grievance voiced by the petitioner is rather strange. The grievance is that respondents 1 & 2, the local Panchayat is violating Rule 220 B of the Panchayat Raj Act in the matter of the construction which has been undertaken by them. The petitioner has filed Ext.P5 application before the 5th respondent to have a demarcation of the properties so that the correct boundary can be fixed. The 5th respondent will take up Ext.P5 immediately, issue notice to the 1st respondent, hear the petitioner and the 1st respondent and take an early decision on Exty.P5, i.e., in any event within one month of receiving copy of this judgment. Once it is found that there is justification for granting of Ext.P5 the 5th respondent shall issue appropriate directions to the 3rd respondent, Taluk Surveyor, for early measurement of the properties.
