BY ADV. SRI.PRATHEESH.P RESPONDENTS: ------------- THE SECRETARY NEENDAKARA GRAM PANCHAYAT. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 6819 of 2008 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 27th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T The grievance voiced by the petitioner is that the Municipality has not assigned door number for a building, which is lawfully constructed by him. The documents produced by the petitioner in the case shows that it is mainly on the ground that the building has been constructed in violation of zonal regulation as per the notified town planning scheme, that the Panchayat declined to number the building. The petitioner approached the Government and the Government has noticed that apart from deviation of the zonal regulation, the construction offenses Rule 25 of Chapter 4 of the Kerala Municipality Building Rules. I do not propose to go into the merits of the petitioner’s claims and contentions. Since the petitioner has a grievance that the request for numbering of the building has not been formally answered by the Panchayat so far, I direct the Panchayat to issue hearing notice to the petitioner, hear him and pass formal orders deciding whether or not to number the petitioner’s building. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the correctness of the stand taken by the Panchayat in Ext.P3 and the Government in Ext.P4. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE) jg
