GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 32982 OF 2010 (W) ===================== Dated this the 1st day of November, 2010 J U D G M E N T In this writ petition, what is under challenge is Ext.P7, a prohibitory order issued alleging violation of the provisions contained in Act 28 of 2008. It is seen that subsequently for the very same reasons, Ext.P8 show cause notice has been issued by the District Collector, calling upon the petitioner to show cause why action shall not be initiated. On receipt of the show cause notice, petitioner has filed Ext.P9 application as well. It is during the pendency of such proceedings that the petitioner has filed this writ petition challenging Ext.P7. 2. In my view, Ext.P7 has been issued only to ensure that further works are not carried out by the petitioner and cannot be impugned. Having regard to the fact that subsequently show cause notice has been issued and the petitioner has filed his explanation to the show cause notice, at this stage, all that is required is that the proceedings pursuant to Ext.P8 should be finalised by the 3rd respondent. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that on the WPC No. 32982/10 :2 : production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition, the 3rd respondent will issue notice to the petitioner and the 4th respondent and untramelled by the findings in Ext.P7, finalise the proceedings pursuant to Ext.P8, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks thereafter. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
