TO JUDGE ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 16922 OF 2008 (M) ==================== Dated this the 10th day of December, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioners complaint is that revision of the master plan with a decision to reduce the width of Kollam Pukayilapandakasala (Mulakada) - Vaddi Road from 25 to 15 metres is to be implemented and that in the light of the plan so revised, Ext.P3 application made by him for building permit should be considered. 2. It has now come out and it is also seen from Ext.P5 that the revised master plan is pending consideration of the Government of Kerala and that the revised plan is yet to be finalised and published. Therefore, unless and until the revised master plan is finalised and published, the petitioner cannot seek consideration of his application for building permit in the light of the revised plan. Hence, what is required at this stage is to make respondents 1 and 2 to finalise and publish the revised master plan formulated for Kollam Corporation area. 3. In view of the above, the 2nd respondent is directed to finalise and publish the revised master plan concerning Kollam Corporation area, which is mentioned in Ext.P5 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate WPC 16922/08 :2 : within 3 months of production of a copy of this judgment. Depending on the revised master plan that is finalised and published, it is directed that the 4th respondent shall consider Ext.P3 or any supplementary application which the petitioner, may file for building permit concerning his land. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
