           Dated this the 13th   day of August, 2008


                           JUDGMENT

Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P2, by

which the petitioner is asked to demolish the unauthorised

construction allegedly made his tenant. According to the

petitioner, the land lord, Ext.P2 was issued even without a

notice to him. However, it is seen that on receipt of Ext.P2,

the tenant has filed Ext.P3 objection before the Tribunal and

presently the petitioner apprehends that without issuing

even a notice to him the Panchayat might implement Ext.P2.

2. If as stated by the petitioner, notice has not been

issued to him, that certainly is a defect, which the

Panchayat has to rectify. Now that, in response to Ext.P2,

the tenant has filed Ext.P3 representation before the

respondent, if is only appropriate that the Panchayat to

2

decide the matter, taking into account Ext.P3 and with

notice to the petitioner and the recipient of Ext.P2.

Therefore, directing that the matter shall be decided

by the Panchayat, in the light of Exts.P3 and with notice to

the petitioner and the recipient of Ext.P2, this writ petition is

disposed of. Panchayat shall take a decision as

expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 4 weeks

from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. It is

further directed that, until a decision as above shall be

taken by the Panchayat, further proceedings for the

implementation of Ext.P2 shall be kept in abeyance.
