Sudev Sathian v. Corporation of Thrissur
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Kerala allowed a writ petition filed by Sudev Sathian seeking a building permit and quashing of a communication denying it. The court noted that the dispute was factually identical to a prior judgment (WP(C) No.7231/2013). Relying on that precedent, the court granted the relief requested.
What did the court decide?
This writ petition is allowed; Ext.P4 (the communication denying the permit) is quashed, and the 2nd respondent is directed to grant the building permit if the application is otherwise in order.
