ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) 22539 of 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- Dated: AUGUST 5, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner is a businessman conducting business at a place called Kollappally in Kottayam District, coming within the jurisdiction of the 1st respondent Panchayat. In this writ petition what is mainly complained of by the petitioner is that in view of the indiscriminate parking of vehicles, access to his business place is affected. It is also complained that as a result thereof, his business prospects are also reduced. 2. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that similar complaints were received by the Panchayat and that at the instance of the Panchayat, a joint meeting of all concerned, including the trading community and police, was convened on 28.7.2008. It is also stated that by a unanimous understanding between the parties, it has been decided to take remedial action in the matter, WP(C) 22539/08 2 which is being implemented with the aid of the local police. 3. If, as stated by the learned Government Pleader, the Panchayat has already initiated steps to redress the grievance of the petitioner and others in this matter and the same is implemented with the aid of the local police, I do not think this Court needs to interfere with the matter and upset the unanimous decision arrived at among the parties. Therefore I dispose of the writ petition directing that the decision taken in the meeting held on 28.7.2008 shall be implemented and the Panchayat shall ensure the same with the involvement and co-operation of the 2nd respondent.
