NO.7884 OF 2004 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of January, 2011 JUDGMENT This writ petition has been filed mainly with the prayer to direct the third respondent to provide drinking water to Chirakkattupara and Kulangara areas of Manakkad Grama Panchayath in terms of Ext.P1. Though the panchayath has passed a resolution on 15.12.2003, no further action was taken for implementation of the same. This Court passed an interim order on 15.3.2005. The submission made on behalf of the second respondent-panchayath expressing the willingness to implement Ext.P1 decision and provide portable water to the petitioners and others in the locality, was recorded. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that pursuant to the interim order dated 15.3.2005, virtually the problem of shortage of portable water stood redressed. In short, the grievance of the petitioners raised in this Writ Petition has been substantially redressed. In the said circumstances, nothing survives for consideration in this Writ Petition. Accordingly, it is closed. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc W.P.(C) NO. 2 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. JUDGMENT September, 2010 W.P.(C) NO. 3
