2. When this Writ Petition came up for consideration before this Court on 16.02.2026, this Court passed the following order:

“The counsel for the petitioner submitted that the appeal pending before the Tribunal for the Local Self Government Institutions is already disposed of, as evident by Ext.P5 and there is no interim order restraining construction on the compound wall on the south and west sides based on building permit. If that is the case, there can be an interim order in this case.

3. The learned counsel appearing for respondent Nos.3 to

7 submitted that a counter affidavit is filed and that the matter is purely a civil dispute. I do not want to make any observation about the same. According to the petitioner, he is constructing a compound wall based on a building permit. This Court allowed the petitioner to complete the construction strictly in accordance with the building permit. If the party respondents have any grievance that the petitioner has no right to construct the compound wall, they can avail appropriate remedy in accordance with the law. But, they cannot obstruct the construction, when there is a building permit. That is why this Court passed the above interim order. The interim order already passed by this Court can be made absolute, and all other contentions of the petitioner and the party respondents can be left open. If the petitioner has no right to construct the compound wall, the party respondents can approach the appropriate authority in accordance with the law.

With the above observation, this Writ Petition is disposed of making the interim order dated 16.02.2026 absolute. All other contentions of the petitioner and the party respondents are left open.
