The court allows a petitioner to challenge governmental orders post-service while barring coercive actions until an appropriate window has passed.

JUDGMENT

Petitioner has sought for a direction to allot separate water connection to each dwelling unit having separate house numbers as XIII/96 C to H in the Kureethara Apartments in Kalamassery Municipality. Ext.P10 is the petition filed by the petitioner pursuant to the directions of this Court in W.A.No.1050/2023.

2. During the pendency of this writ petition, the said petition was considered, and according to the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents, orders have already been issued. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has not been served with a copy of the order.

3. Since it is submitted by the learned Standing Counsel that orders pursuant to Ext.P10 have already been issued, I am of the view that this writ petition need not be proceeded against.

Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of reserving the liberty of the petitioner to challenge the orders passed pursuant to Ext.P10, provided a copy of the said order is served on the petitioner by the respondents within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

Needless to mention, coercive proceedings pursuant to the said order shall not be initiated without waiting for the 30 days of the service of the said order.

The writ petition is disposed of.
