THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.5785 OF 2009 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of February, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a resident of the 1st respondent Municipality. The 3rd respondent is constructing a three storied building adjacent to the petitioner’s property, which according to the petitioner would effectively block the free flow of light and air to the petitioner’s house. The petitioner, therefore, seeks appropriate direction to the 1st respondent Municipality to take action in that regard. The petitioner has filed Ext.P2 representation before the 2nd respondent for appropriate action. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel for respondents 1 and 2. In the nature of the order I propose to pass I do not find it necessary to issue notice to the 3rd respondent at this juncture. After having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned counsel for the Municipality, I dispose of this W.P.(c)No.5785/09 2 writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 3rd respondent. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 2nd respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.5785/09 3
