PLEADER SRI.K.J.MOHAMMED ANZAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(c).No.12818 OF 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 11th day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT Adv.Sri.Siby Mathew, standing counsel takes notice on behalf of the first respondent Panchayat. In the nature of the orders which are being passed hereunder, it is not necessary to issue notice to the other respondents. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though it was noticed by the Panchayat that the panchayat road has been encroached upon by several encroachers and Exts.P2, P4 and P5 representations were submitted successively, the Panchayat has not taken any action for ensuring that encroachments are abated and removed. I dispose of the writ petition directing the first respondent panchayat to conduct necessary local inspection with the assistance of the 5th respondent Village Officer, if necessary get the properties measured by a competent surveyor, issue notice to the alleged encroachers and take a final decision on Exts.P2, P4 and P5. Final decision as directed above shall be taken by the Panchayat at the earliest and at any rate within three months of receiving a copy of this judgment. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE sv.
