It is stated that the Indian Gospel Mission purchased 2.14 ares of property comprised in Sy.No.238/2/6 of Venmony Village for using the same as a burial ground. According to the petitioner, in terms of the provisions contained in the Kerala Panchayat Raj (Burial and Burning Grounds) Rules, he made Ext.P2 application to the 3rd respondent. In terms of the said rule, the 3rd respondent has to forward the application to the 1st respondent and it is for the 1st respondent to pass final orders in the matter. His complaint is that despite having made Ext.P2, the 3rd respondent has not so far forwarded the application to the 1st respondent. It is with this grievance, the writ petition is filed. 2. If as stated by the petitioner, the 3rd respondent has received Ext.P2 application, which is complete in all respects, there is no reason why the same shall not be forwarded to the 1st respondent, who has to pass orders in the matter. 3. In view of this, the writ petition is disposed of directing WPC No. 6469/10 :2 : the 3rd respondent to consider the application made by the petitioner and if the application is complete in all respects, forward the same to the 1st respondent for appropriate orders. This the 3rd respondent shall do, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 3 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, and on receipt, the 1st respondent shall consider the same expeditiously. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before respondents 1 and 3 for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
