KURIAKOSE, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 10919 OF 2007 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of March, 2007 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner is that a natural stream of water which is the source of water for his family for all domestic purposes is being destroyed by respondents 3 to 6 and that the authorities of the Panchayat and the District Collector who have been alerted in the matter are not taking any action. I do not propose to go into the merits of the matter. The Writ Petition will stand disposed of with the following directions: Ext.P2 is seen pending before the Secretary of the Panchayat. The Secretary of the Panchayat will immediately take up Ext.P2, issue notice to respondents 3 to 6, conduct necessary inspections and take a decision on Ext.P2 at the earliest and at any rate within six weeks of receiving copy of this judgment. It is needless to mention that petitioner shall also be heard before final decision is taken. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE btt WPC 2
