No.1238 of 2010 (D) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 27th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T The grievance of the petitioners is against Ext.P1 notification, reflecting a proposal to merge the area of the Vizhinjam Grama Panchayat in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation. By Ext.P1 notification, objections were called for and the petitioners made Exts.P2 & P3 objections. Their apprehension is that the matter will be finalised without considering their objections or giving them an opportunity to make their representations in the matter. 2. The learned Government Pleader has obtained instructions in the matter and submits that Exts.P2 & P3 have been received, and that the matter now stands posted tomorrow for hearing them. This submission is recorded. The learned Government Pleader has also produced a copy of the Division Bench judgment of this Court in WP(C) No.36466/2009 dated 12/01/2010 directing consideration of similar objections filed by yet another set of petitioners. WP(C) No.1238/2010 -2- Having regard to the above, recording the statement made by the learned Government Pleader and directing that final orders will be passed considering Exts.P2 & P3 objections, this writ petition is also disposed of.
