the impugned interim order directing the Secretary of the Panchayat to assign the building number to the 3rd respondent, if the construction has been carried out in accordance with law. It is clear from Rule 25 of the Kerala Panchayat Building Rules 2011 that every owner shall, on completion of the development or redevelopment of the land or construction or reconstruction or addition or alteration of building, as per the permit issued to him, submit a completion certificate certified and signed by him, to the Secretary in the form in Appendix E and such other requirements as is contemplated under the later provisions. Therefore, the statutory framework as per Rules 2011 enables the Secretary to consider the application submitted by the permit holder in order to ascertain whether he is entitled to get occupancy certificate and accordingly the building number. The learned Single Judge was conscious of this aspect and it was accordingly directed the Secretary to consider and assign building number, if construction has been carried out in accordance with law.
