                 ==================
                  W.P(C)No.31789 of 2008
                 ==================
        Dated this the 29th day of October, 2008.

                       J U D G M E N T

The petitioner’s grievance in this writ petition is that an

application filed by him for a building permit is not being

considered and orders passed by the respondent. I have heard

the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent

also. When a person files an application for building permit

the respondent has a duty to consider and pass orders on the

same expeditiously.

2. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a

direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on the

application for building permit stated to have been filed by the

petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within one

month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

While doing so, the respondent shall consider the applicability

of Ext.P2 to the construction to be made by the petitioner.

The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition

along with a certified copy of this judgment to the respondent

for compliance.

S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE
