BY SRI.SHAJI (SC) SRI.K.J.MUHAMMED ANZAR ( G.P.) THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, J. ---------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 8892 of 2008 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of March , 2008 JUDGMENT The grievance, which is voiced by the petitioner, is that respondents 3 and 4 are going ahead with certain illegal constructions within the area of the first respondent Panchayat and that the Panchayat is not taking any action in spite of the submission of Ext.P1 compliant by the petitioner . 2. When this Writ Petition came up for admission, Sri.Shaj, Advocate, has taken notice on behalf of the first respondent Panchayat. Sri.Shaj sought time for getting instructions, but, since Ext.P1 is pending before the first respondent Panchayat, I am inclined to dispose of this writ petition issuing the following directions: i). The Secretary of the first respondent Panchayat will take up Ext.P1 immediately, conduct local inspection with notice to the petitioner and respondents 3 and 4, hear the petitioner and the third respondent and take an early decision. If the local WPC No.8892/2008 2 inspection reveals that the allegations of the petitioner are prima facie correct, the Secretary of the first respondent Panchayat will issue stop memo to respondents 3 and 4 so that further constructions are prevented. ii). Final orders as directed above will be passed on Ext.P1 by the Secretary of the Panchayat at the earliest and at any rate within one month of receiving a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE. dpk
