RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.17988/2010-W ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 23rd day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner herein is a resident in house situated in 6.700 cents of property comprised in Survey No.607/4 of Thekkumbhagam Village within the limits of the first respondent-Municipality. The family name of the petitioner is “Pazhoor Madom”. A 3 metre width road was built up by the predecessor of the petitioner's family for their ingress and egress starting from the Pavamkulangara road. The road is named as Pazhoor Madom road which is reflected in various records of the Municipality. In a later point of time, it appears that the second respondent along with some other persons have erected a new name board for the road namely, Pulari Nagar instead of Pazhoor Madom road. It is based on a decision taken by a residents' association representing certain inhabitants of the area. According to the petitioner, as far as the residents are concerned, the Pazhoor Madom road is the final name which was adopted with the sanction of the Municipality and no body else have got a right to put up a board and that also by changing the name. It is in these circumstances the petitioner has approached this Court seeking for various reliefs in the matter. W.P.(C). No.17988/2010 -:2:- 2. Heard the learned Standing Counsel for the Municipality. It is submitted that the complaints referred to in the writ petition have been received already by the Municipality. Therefore, it is upto the Municipality to take a decision in accordance with the relevant Rules with regard to the complaints received from the petitioner and appropriate decision will be taken with notice to the petitioner and the Pulari Nagar Residents' Association represented by the second respondent within a period of two months. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. Sd/- (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms \\TRUE COPY// P.A TO JUDGE
