It is pointed out that the petitioner is the owner of 6 cents 800 sq.links of property in Re-survey No.339/7 of Thiruvamkulam Village. The petitioner applied for a permit to construct a compound wall for the remaining property, i.e. the property excluding the area surrendered for the purpose of widening a road. Though a permit was issued as per Ext.P1, when construction was started, Ext.P2 stop memo was issued. According to the petitioner, the reasons stated in the stop memo are not correct. The petitioner submitted Ext.P6 reply to the same. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that even though Ext.P7 notice was issued proposing a hearing on 29/06/2010, the same was adjourned and so far, no action has been taken in the matter. It is pointed out that the delay will put the petitioner in real hardship. 2. Therefore, there will be a direction to the respondent to take a decision after hearing the petitioner within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. All the aspects raised by the W.P.(C). No.19997/2010 -:2:- petitioner will be considered and appropriate decision will be taken and communicated to the petitioner also. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
