NO. 18807 OF 2009 ----------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of July 2009 JUDGMENT Heard The learned counsel for the petitioner. The learned Govt.Pleader appears for the 1st Respondent. Notice to 2nd respondent is dispensed with preserving right to seek review of this judgment, if aggrieved. I don't find any ground to entertain this writ petition on the merits of Ext.P5 at this point of time, more particularly because Ext.P6 statutory appeal is pending before the Government. Hence without expressing anything on merits, this writ petition is hereby ordered directing that if Ext.P6 is received and pending and if it is in accordance with the law, the same shall be considered and disposed of within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. Needless to say the petitioner and the Panchayat and any other person entitled to be heard shall be given an opportunity for hearing. Either way, the WP(c)No.18807/2009 -2- Government will state its reason for the decision being rendered on that appeal. All other issues are left open. THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN(JUDGE) pkk
