SREEKRISHNA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 13421 OF 2008 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner's grievance is that second respondent is going to assign building number to the building being constructed by the third respondent in a property, title of which is disputed by the petitioner in civil court. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that decree is in favour of the petitioner, and so much so the construction is illegal. I do not know why the petitioner is not able to get effective orders from the civil court if construction is made in violation of the decree passed by the civil court. If third respondent has constructed the building he is entitled to get number for the same from the Panchayat. If the petitioner's dispute is bona fide, petitioner is certainly entitled to get orders from the civil court, since civil court has powers preventing numbering of illegal construction. Having regard to the nature of issue, I am sure the appellate court will dispose of the appeal at an early date. W.P. is disposed of with the above observations. Issue photocopy today itself. (C.N.
