TO JUDGE. svs ANTONY DOMINIC, J -------------------------------------- W.P(C) No.20871 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of August, 2011. J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that he resides in 10 Acres of land comprised in Survey No.638 of Sultan battery Village. It is the case of the petitioner that adjacent to the private way to this property which starts from the public road, there exists a pump house constructed by the 1st respondent, which is not in use since last 20 years. According to the petitioner the pump house is in a dilapidated condition and is causing serious danger to the users of the private way. In such circumstances seeking removal of the pump house, the petitioner says that he made Ext.P3 application before the 2nd respondent with copy to the 1st respondent. But orders have not been passed on the said application and that lead him to file this writ petition. 2. I heard the standing counsel appearing for the respondents also. 3. The only prayer sought in this writ petition is to W.P(C) No.20871 of 2011 2 direct the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 referred to above. Having regard to the nature of the grievance raised, I see no reason to decline the prayer and there will be a direction that the 1st respondent shall consider the representation. 4. This the 1st respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within six weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment along with the a copy of this writ petition. The Writ Petition is disposed of. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE ab
