Date:- 6th July, 2010 P.C. :- 1. On the request made by the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner, permission is granted to delete the name of respondent No.8. 2. Heard learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner. We have heard the learned Advocate General for respondents No.1 to 7 and the learned Counsel appearing for respondent No.9 and respondent No. 10. The grievance in this petition is as regards construction of a large cement dance floor, concrete structure and a large covered hall where food and drinks are served. The contention is that the construction has been carried out in violation of the sanctioned plan. The objection of the petitioner is to the commercial activity carried on after obtaining permission for construction of an agricultural farm house. There is another grievance made regarding noise pollution created by the music played in the structure in dispute. 3. As far as noise pollution is concerned, we find that certain directions have been issued by this Court on 3rd November, 2009. As of today, the grievance regarding the noise pollution is taken care of. As far as the allegation of construction of the illegal structure is concerned, the Village Panchayat had issued show cause notice dated 15th March, 2010, calling upon the concerned respondent to show cause as to why no objection certificate dated 16th February, 1999 should not be revoked. It is stated in the show cause notice that at the time of applying for the no objection certificate of the Village Panchayat, the fact that conversion of the land was not obtained, has been suppressed. On the basis of the show cause notice, further notice dated 26th June, 2010 has been issued by the Sarpanch of the Village Panchayat. The no objection certificate dated 16th February, 1999 issued by the Village Panchayat has been revoked and a direction has been issued to demolish the illegal structure and to clear the filling of agricultural land within 7 days from the date of the said notice. It appears that the ninth respondent has preferred an appeal No.MAR-I/34/10/322 before the Additional Director of Panchayats at Margao. In the said appeal, ad interim stay of the order cum notice dated 26th June, 2010 has been granted and the said appeal is pending. The learned Counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner wants to make a representation to the concerned authorities under the Land Revenue Code for initiating action as regards unlawful change of user of the land. The petitioner is free to make such a representation which is bound to be considered in accordance with law. 4. In view of the above, the petition need not be kept pending and subject to what has been observed above, we dispose of the petition. We direct that the pending appeal shall be decided by the Addl. Director of Panchayats at Margao as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of three months from today. We keep all contentions of the parties open in the pending appeal. A. S. OKA, J. F. M. REIS, J. ssm.
