JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed for a direction directing the first respondent Panchayat to allot building number for the building constructed by the petitioner. The petitioner-Trust applied for the building permit for construction of first floor in the existing building. Ext.P2 is the building permit dated 11.7.2007. Accordingly the petitioner completed the construction of the first floor. The petitioner submits that he has completed the building in the year 2008. After completion of the building the petitioner applied to the Secretary of the Panchayat for issuing completion certificate and for allotting building permit. Ext.P3 is the application submitted by the petitioner. Ext.P3(2) is the form for completion certificate. 2. Since there was delay in passing orders the petitioner represent before the authorities and subsequently the matter was referred to Adalat. W.P.(C) No. 14102/2011 2 In the Adalat, the matter was considered and the petitioner was directed to file application for regularisation of the construction. The petitioner submitted Ext.P5 application for regularisation in the prescribed form. By Ext.P6 communication, the Panchayat forwarded the application for regularisation to the 2nd respondent for passing orders. 3. The grievance of the petitioner is that although the application was forwarded along with Ext.P6 letter dated 17.2.2011, the 2nd respondent has not taken any decision. The petitioner is put to severe difficulties and undue hardship for the inaction in not passing the order, non-issuance of the completion certificate and in not numbering the building. In these circumstances, a direction is issued to the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of Exts.P5 & P6 within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. HARUN-UL-RASHID JUDGE al
