J U D G M E N T
The grievance of the petitioner is to direct the
1st respondent to take immediate steps for the
completion of work relating to the Melukavu-Kalluvettom
village road as expeditiously as possible. In the
statement filed on behalf of the 1st respondent, the
stand taken is that it is the responsibility of the
State Government to complete the road work.
2. Learned Govt. Pleader, on instruction, submits
that it was because of the pendency of W.P.(C) No.
34819/03 which stood in the way of the Government in
completing the work. It is obvious from Ext. R4(a)
judgment rendered by this Court that the aforesaid writ
petition has been disposed of on 16-11-2005. In view
of this, the pendency of that case could no longer be
an excuse for further delay.
3. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition
directing that the respondents shall take expeditious
WPC No.18957/2006
– 2 –
action for the completion of the remaining work of the
road mentioned above. It is clarified that while doing
so, the respondents shall also ensure compliance with
the direction issued by this Court in Ext. R4(a)
judgment in W.P.(C) No. 34819/03.
