SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.13118 OF 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of JUNE, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are aggrieved by Ext.P7 stop memo whereby the Village Officer, Kakkanad has directed the petitioners to stop all construction activities in the petitioners' property mentioned therein alleged to be on the basis of a telephonic direction from the Revenue Divisional Officer, Fort Kochi. Subsequently, Ext.P8 prohibitory order has also been passed by the RDO in respect of the same. The petitioners are challenging that order also. 2. I am of opinion that since Exts.P7 and P8 are in the nature of interim orders, the first respondent is bound to pass final orders in the matter expeditiously. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to pass final orders pursuant to Exts.P7 and P8 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this W.P.(c)No.13118/10 2 judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners. Till final orders are thus passed, the interim order passed by this court on 9.4.10 shall continue to be in force. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd W.P.(c)No.13118/10 3
