K.M.JOSEPH, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C).No. 14699 of 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 20th day of June, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioners challenge Exts.P13 and P14 issued by the respondent Panchayat. One of the contentions taken is that, how petitioners have violated Section 218 is not reflected in Exts.P13 and P14. It is pointed out that respondents have not raised any objection on the ground that the planned construction would offend either section 218 or section 220(b) of the Panchayat Raj Act. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent Panchayat would then submit that the Panchayat will issue a fresh notice/notices to the petitioners and it is open to the petitioners to raise all their objections before the Panchayat. The writ petition is disposed of recording the submission of the learned counsel for the Panchayat and leaving the respondent Panchayat free to issue notice to the petitioners who are also left free to raise the contentions available to them before the Panchayat.
