                        W.P.C. NO.13417 OF 2008
                   --------------------------------------------
                  Dated this the 22nd day of April, 2008

                                 JUDGMENT

Petitioner’s grievance is against proposal of the Municipality

through resolution passed by it for acquiring petitioner’s property for

construction of a lorry stand and bus-stand. Petitioner has filed a

petition under Section 57 of the Municipalities Act before the

Government raising objection against resolution passed by the

Municipality. Obviously bus-stand and lorry-stand are for public

purpose and if more suitable land is not available, then resolution of the

Municipality has to be implemented. In any case since petitioner has

filed a complaint before the second respondent, second respondent

should take a decision within the powers conferred on him by the

statute, at the earliest and in any case within six weeks from the date of

production of a copy of this judgment by the petitioner. The

Municipality also should be heard in the matter.

W.P. is disposed of as above.
