J U D G M E N T The petitioner wants to construct a commercial building by the side of the M.G. road in Ernakulam. For the same, the petitioner is obliged to obtain No Objection Certificate from the Commandant General, Fire & Rescue Services Hqs., Thiruvananthapuram which he has obtained as Ext.P1 and No Objection Certificate from the District Collector as the construction is within 100 meters from the proposed Metro Rail project along the M.G. road. Accordingly, the 2nd respondent, Secretary of the Corporation of Kochi addressed the 1st respondent District Collector to issue a No Objection Certificate. The petitioner's grievance is that although Ext.P2 has been forwarded on 10/3/2008 the 1st respondent has not yet considered the same. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the matter expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the matter and pass appropriate orders pursuant to W.P(C)No.28484 of 2008 - 2 - Ext.P2, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment to the 1st respondent for compliance. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE rhs
