JUDGMENT
This writ petition is filed seeking the following reliefs: “a) Issue a writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ, order or direction, directing the 1 st respondent to consider, take a decision on Ext.P3 complaint and to take appropriate action against the 2 nd respondent with regard to the compound wall on the southern side of his property which is causing great danger to the life and property of the petitioner;
b) Dispense with the translations into English of Exts.P1, P3 and P4 which are in Malayalam; AND c) Grant such other or further relief as this Hon’ble Court deems fit to grant in the particular facts and circumstances of the case. ”
[SIC]
2. When this writ petition came up for consideration, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner would be satisfied if a direction is issued to the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P3.
3. The manner in which this writ petition is going to be disposed of, no notice is necessary to the respondents. If the respondents are aggrieved by any of the directions issued by this Court, the respondents are free to file review petition before this Court.
4. Since, the petitioner’s prayer is only for consideration of Ext.P3, I think that prayer can be allowed. But, I make it clear that, I have not considered the matter on merit, and the orders in Ext.P3 shall be passed only after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and the 3rd respondent.
Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:
i) The 1st respondent is directed to consider Ext.P3, and pass appropriate orders in it, after giving sufficient opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and the 2nd respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
ii) The petitioner will produce a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition with Exhibits before the 1st respondent for compliance.
