Court directed the timely consideration of building permit applications by local authorities.

JUDGMENT

The above writ petition is filed with following prayers :

i) “Issue a writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ, direction or order directing the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 application thereon within a time frame fixed by this Hon’ble Court;

ii) To dispense with filing of translation of vernacular documents in the interest of justice.

iii) Grant such other reliefs as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit to grant in the facts and circumstances of the case.” [sic]

2. When this writ petition came up for consideration, the learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners will be satisfied if a direction is issued to consider Ext.P2 building permit by the 3^rd respondent.

3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader. The manner in which this writ petition is going to be disposed of, no notice is necessary to respondent Nos. 2 and 3. If respondent Nos.2 and 3 are aggrieved by any of the directions issued by this Court, they are free to file a review petition before this Court.

4. Since the limited prayer of the petitioners is to consider a building permit application submitted by the 3^rd respondent, there can be a direction to the 3^rd respondent to consider the same.

Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions :

1) The 3^rd respondent is directed to consider Ext.P2, if it is received and pending as on today and pass appropriate orders in it, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
