Applicant Versus STATE OF GOA THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY AND 2 ORS., ... Respondents Mr. Sudesh Usgaonkar, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. S. S. Kantak, Advocate General with Ms. G. Bhonsule, Addl. Govt. Advocate for the respondents. Coram:- R.M.S. KHANDEPARKAR & R. S. MOHITE, JJ. Date:- 21st August, 2007 P.C. Heard. This is an application for extension of time to take appropriate decision on the application filed by the original petitioner for grant of construction permission. It is submitted on behalf of the applicant that before taking appropriate decision in the matter, the files pertaining to the proposed construction are required to be referred to the authorities, namely the Town & Country Planning Department, P.W.D. and the Health Department. Undisputedly, all these authorities come under the jurisdiction of the respondent No.1. Though the applicant is justified in seeking extension of time to take appropriate decision, there should be endeavour on the part of the respondent No.1, in view of the order passed on 18/7/07, to ensure that the authorities, namely the Town & Country Planning Department, P.W.D. and the Health Department take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible in relation to the files which are to be referred by the applicant to those authorities in relation to the matter in hand. 2. At this stage, therefore, we extend the time for appropriate decision by the respondent No.2/applicant within six weeks from today, with liberty to the respondent No.2 to approach this Court afresh in case the respondent No.2 could not take appropriate decision within the period of six weeks. The application is, accordingly, disposed of. R.M.S. KHANDEPARKAR, J. R. S. MOHITE, J. ssm.
