Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 35359 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 9th December, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a firm engaged in the business of engineering constructions. They have started construction of a multi-storeyed building as per Ext. P1 building permit. But, because of a temporary shed erected by the 3rd respondent in front of the building site, the petitioner has been seriously inconvenienced. Despite Exts.P2 and P3 representations filed in this regard, respondents 1 and 2 have not taken any action in the matter. The petitioner now seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P3 expeditiously. 2. I have heard counsel for respondents 1 and 3 also. Despite service of notice, the 2nd respondent has not chosen to enter appearance. 3. I am satisfied that on receipt of Ext. P3 petition, the 2nd respondent has a duty to consider and pass orders on the same expeditiously. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P3, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and respondents 1 and 3, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
