The Committee purchased 7 cents of land for the construction of a mosque for the benefit of the Muslims in that area. The petitioner contends that the local Grama Panchayat has issued a certificate to the effect that they have no objection in constructing the mosque. But, by Ext.P3 letter, the District Collector has informed the petitioner that in view of a Government letter dated 12.9.2003 the petitioner shall stop the construction of the mosque and the shopping complex in the said property. The petitioner is aggrieved by that direction. In view of the fact that Ext.P3 order has been passed on the basis of a Government letter, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P4 petition before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P4 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 and pass orders on Ext.P4 after affording an opportunity of being heard to the w.p.c.37064/04 2 petitioner and others who may be affected, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
