GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/04/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 9856 OF 2009 (B) ===================== Dated this the 3rd day of April, 2009 J U D G M E N T The grievance in this writ petition emanates mainly from Exts.P3 and P8, a stop memo issued by the 2nd respondent and a further communication calling upon the petitioners to produce court orders, if any, permitting them to continue the work. 2. By the stop memo referred to above, petitioners have been prevented from continuing the construction work of a residential building. However, the petitioners state that by now the structural work is entirely over and what remains is completion of the interior work. It is also their contention that subsequent to Ext.P3, the 2nd respondent has already initiated an enquiry and that the 2nd respondent should finalise the same on an expeditious basis. 3. Having regard to the fact that by Ext.P3, petitioner is prevented from continuing the work, it is only appropriate that the 2nd respondent expedites the enquiry and complete the same. This the 2nd respondent shall do, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. WPC 9856/09 :2 : It is directed that in the meanwhile, petitioner will be permitted to complete the interior works of the structure that is already completed, which will be entirely at his risk and subject to the outcome of the enquiry to be concluded by the 2nd respondent. 4. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 2nd respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
