I do not propose to go into the merits of the matter. The ground floor was constructed at a time when the Building Rules were not applicable in the Panchayat. The petitioner has submitted Ext.P2 representation before the Secretary of the Panchayat. The Secretary of the Panchayat will take up Ext.P2 immediately, issue notice to the third respondent, hear the petitioner and the third respondent, conduct local inspection, if necessary, and take a decision on Ext.P2. Decision as directed above will be taken at the earliest and at any rate within six weeks of receiving copy of this judgment. The third respondent is informed that the constructions which have been taken up by him over the existing building will be at his risk and subject to the decision to be taken by the Panchayat on Ext.P2. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
