Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The High Court of Kerala challenged a show cause notice-cum provisional order and a demolition order issued under Section 235 W of the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act. The Court held that since Ext.P5 and Ext.P6 were issued on the same day without following the procedure under Section 235 W, the demolition order is set aside, and the proceedings must follow due process.
What did the court decide?
The Ext.P6 order directing demolition is set aside. The petitioners are directed to reply to Ext.P5 within two weeks. The respondent must pass appropriate orders after hearing within six weeks.
