GP MR.I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.31815 OF 2009 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of November, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner challenges Ext.P4 issued by the panchayat secretary in May, 2008. Whatever be the reasons for the delay, the fact of the matter remains that the impugned Ext.P4 is dependent solely on the view taken by the revenue authorities regarding the identity of the properly claimed by the petitioner. The panchayat having cancelled the building permit, it is for the petitioner to seek remedy to have the land identified in accordance with law and settle the dispute with the State regarding the question whether the land is government land or otherwise. This could be under different statutory provisions or even before the civil court. It is inappropriate for this Court interfere with Ext.P4 at this point of time since that would call for adjudication of disputed questions of facts relating to title to property. Hence, this writ petition is rejected without prejudice WPC.31815/09 2 to the petitioner's right to seek relief in relation to the decision of the revenue authorities referred to in Ext.P4.
