JUDGMENT

¶31

The petitioner, who is a resident in Ward No.4 of Vallappuzha Grama Panchayat, has filed this Writ Petition seeking a writ of mandamus commanding respondents 1 and 2 to evict unauthorised encroachers from the property vested with Vallappuzha Grama Panchayat which is being used as 'Kalaparambu chantha' and also seeking an order directing the 1^st respondent to move the 3^rd respondent for conducting survey of the properties vested with the Grama Panchayat and to initiate appropriation action. The petitioner has also sought for a writ of mandamus commanding the 1^st respondent to invoke the provisions of the Kerala Panchayat Raj (Removal of Encroachment and Imposition and Recovery of Penalty for Unauthorised Occupation) Rules, 1996 against the encroachers of the properties vested with the Grama Panchayat. Highlighting the grievance, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P1 representation before the 1^st respondent Grama Panchayat.

¶32

I heard the arguments of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondents 1 and 2 and also the learned Government Pleader appearing for the 3^rd respondent.

¶33

W.P.(C).No.5533 of 2013

¶34

¶35

Considering the fact that Ext.P1 representation submitted by the petitioner is pending consideration before the 1^st respondent, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this Writ Petition, without going into the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioner.

¶36

In the result, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Secretary of the 1^st respondent Grama Panchayat to consider Ext.P1 representation submitted by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, with notice to the petitioner and also to affected persons, if any. If necessary, the 1^st respondent shall move the 3^rd respondent for conducting survey of the property in question. It is made clear that removal of encroachment, if any, shall be made strictly in accordance with the Rules and with due notice to such encroachers.
