Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
In a writ petition, the petitioner challenged an arrest warrant and sought a mandate directing the Gram Panchayath to enforce set-back rules regarding the fifth respondent's construction adjacent to the petitioner's land. The court held that since a civil suit is pending and no survey has been conducted, it could not issue the writ but directed the respondent to act upon future survey results.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition is disposed of with a direction that the third respondent take appropriate action upon submission of a survey report by the petitioner.
