BY ADV.SRI.P.K.MANOJ KUMAR, S.C. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/06/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.16383 OF 2009 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of June, 2009 JUDGMENT 1.Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel for the respondent. 2.The petitioner seeks a direction to the Corporation that a building number be alloted to the construction completed by him. But it is a matter of fact that the Corporation has issued Ext.P8 stop memo, which is essentially a show cause notice even going by its caption. This calls for appropriate objections by the petitioner and consideration of such objections by the competent authority resulting in a statutory decision, which, if adverse to the petitioner, could be challenged before the appropriate statutory authority. If the petitioner has filed objections to Ext.P8, there is no reason why there could be any delay in considering and deciding those objections. Hence, it is directed that any objections to Ext.P8 shall be considered and disposed of within one month from the date of receipt of a WPC.16383/09 Page numbers copy of this judgment and if such decision is against the petitioner, reasons shall be stated for the same. Needless to say the petitioner shall be given an opportunity of pre- decisional hearing. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. All other issues are left open.
