SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No. 13031 of 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 31st day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner's daughter and son-in-law are stated to have jointly applied for a building permit for construction of a house. They have obtained a permit from the Panchayat and the Panchayat sanctioned the building plan also. On the strength of Ext.P2 power of attorney in his favour, the petitioner applied for river sand on behalf of his daughter and son-in-law. Panchayat sanctioned 8 loads on 16.11.2009 as per Ext.P3. Petitioner when approached the office of the respondents for a pass, the 2nd respondent issued only one pass which according to the petitioner is against Ext.P3 sanction. Petitioner would contend that when the Panchayat themselves have sanctioned 8 lorry loads, 2nd respondent could not have restricted the pass to only one load. Petitioner therefore seeks a direction to the W.P.(C)No. 13031 of 2010 -2- 2nd respondent to consider the petitioner's request for passes in accordance with Ext.P3 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the claim of the petitioner for passes for the balance 7 loads as per Ext.P3 and pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
