KURIAKOSE, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 34013 OF 2006 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of January, 2007 JUDGMENT I do not propose to examine the merits of the grounds raised. But Ext.P1 mass petition has concededly been received by the Panchayat. Considering the urgency which is projected by the petitioners in the Writ Petition, it is only appropriate that Panchayat takes an early decision on Ext.P1. Accordingly, the Writ Petition will stand disposed of directing the 1st respondent-Panchayat to take an early decision on Ext.P1 after getting remarks from the 2nd respondent-Assistant Executive Engineer. Decision as ordered above will be taken by the 1st respondent at his earliest and at any rate within three weeks of receiving copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment and a copy of the Writ Petition before the Panchayat. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE btt WPC 2
