"i. To issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ Order direction directing the 2^nd Respondent to hear the Petitioner and to consider the document submitted by the Petitioner with regard to the dispute pertaining to the Panchayath road (known as Health Centre Padi-Plamoottil road in the Asset Register) while complying with the direction issued by Exhibit P3 judgment by this Hon’ble Court.

ii. To issue of writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ order directing the 2^nd Respondent to consider the Exhibit P4 representation in accordance with law within a time frame fixed by this Hon’ble Court.

iii. Petitioner also prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to dispense with the translation of the documents produced in the vernacular language. AND iv.

[SIC]

2. This Court as per Ext.P3 judgment directed the 2^nd respondent to consider Ext.P7 produced in that Writ Petition after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner in that Writ Petition. The counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner also may be heard before passing orders as directed by this Court, because a civil suit is pending and the petitioner wants to raise the same also before the authority.

3. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader. The manner in which this Writ Petition is going to be disposed of, no notice is necessary to respondents 2 to 4. If they are aggrieved by any of the directions issued by this Court, they are free to file a Review Petition before this Court.

4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I think there can be a direction to hear the petitioner also before concluding the proceedings as directed by this Court in Ext.P3 judgment, if it is not already concluded as on today.

Therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed of in the following manner:

The 2^nd and 3^rd respondents are directed to give an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner also while deciding the matter as directed by this Court in the judgment dated 10.11.2025 in W.P.(C) No.3908 of 2025, if the hearing as directed by this Court is not already concluded.
