THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE T. MADHAVI DEVI AND

COMMON ORDER

The petitioner in W.P.No.10331 of 2025 is challenging the action of the 3^rd respondent in not initiating any action in furtherance of the notice dt.01.03.2025 issued by him against the illegal construction undertaken by the 4^th respondent, while the petitioner in W.P.No.6163 of 2025, who is the 4^th respondent in W.P.No.10331 of 2025, has challenged the action of the 3^rd respondent in trying to remove the subject house.

2. After hearing both parties and after going through the counter affidavit filed by the 4^th respondent in W.P.No.10331 of 2025, this Court finds that it is on the complaint of the petitioner in W.P.No.10331 of 2025 that the official respondents have visited the house site of the petitioner in W.P.No.6163 of 2025 and have noticed that the said petitioner is making construction in deviation of the sanctioned plan and therefore, they have issued a notice dt.01.03.2025 and the petitioner in W.P.No.6163 of 2025 has approached this Court and obtained an interim direction not to interfere with the construction of the petitioner’s house as per the house construction permission granted on 11.07.2024. The grievance of the petitioner in W.P.No.10331 of 2025 is that in spite of issuance of the notice observing that respondent No.4 has constructed in deviation of sanctioned plan, the official respondents are not taking any further action under the guise of the interim order of this Court.

3. Having gone through the counter affidavit filed by the 3^rd respondent in W.P.No.6163 of 2025 to the effect that a notice has already been given and after measurement of the construction made by the 4^th respondent in W.P.No.10331 of 2025 it was found that there are deviations in the construction, this Court deems it fit and proper to permit the 4^th respondent to submit his explanation within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and the Panchayat Secretary of the 3^rd respondent Gram Panchayat is directed to consider the said representation and thereafter, after giving a fair opportunity of hearing to all the concerned, to take a decision thereon in accordance with law. Till such time, all the parties are directed to maintain status quo as on today.

4. With the above directions, both the Writ Petitions are disposed of.

No order as to costs.

5. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, in these Writ Petitions shall stand closed.
