According to the petitioners, the additional 4th respondent is reviewing the entire matter pursuant to the orders passed by this court and in the meanwhile the Panchayat should be directed to number the buildings provisionally subject to the decision which to be finally taken by the additional 4th respondent. Counsel for the Panchayat does not agree. He submits that it is for the petitioners to move the additional 4th respondent and obtain orders in that regard since the Supreme Court has held that the competent authority is the additional 4th respondent. Under these circumstances, I direct the petitioners to file applications before the additional 4th respondent stating all the facts and voicing their grievances. If applications are received from the petitioners within two weeks from today, the additional 4th respondent will consider that applications and take decisions as regards the buildings belonging to the petitioners herein W.P.C.No.36237/07 - 2 - at the earliest and at any rate within ten weeks of receiving copy of the judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
