J U D G M E N T The petitioner purchased 5 cents of property from the 3rd respondent, comprised in re-survey no. 177/9 of Thalikkulam village as per Ext. P1 sale deed. When the petitioner purchased the property, there was no building or structure in the property. The son of the petitioner owns 4 cents of property adjacent to the 5 cents of property purchased by the petitioner as per Ext. P1. There is a compound wall in between. The Panchayat initiated proceedings for demolition of that compound wall on the ground that the the same was constructed without obtaining permit from the Panchayat. In respect of the same, the petitioner received Ext. P4 communication from the Secretary of the the petitioner. The petitioner applied for a building permit for construction of a residential building in the property purchased by him as per Ext. P1. By Ext. P5, the petitioner was informed that the 3rd respondent had obtained a loan from the Panchayat for construction of a building in the property in question and unless the said amount with 18% interest is paid off, the petitioner's application for permit cannot be considered. Against Exts.P4 and P5, the petitioner has filed Exts.P6 and P7 appeals before the Panchayat committee. The petitioner now seeks a direction to the Panchayat committee to consider and dispose of Exts.P6 and P7 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the parties. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent-Panchayat to consider and pass orders on Exts.P6 and P7 appeals filed by the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month W.P.C.
