                              JUDGMENT

Ext.P11 is an application preferred by the petitioner for change of occupancy in respect of a building constructed after obtaining a building permit from the first respondent Municipality. The case of the petitioner is that despite the fact that he has remitted the statutory payments due for the purpose of enabling the competent authority to consider the application, the same is not being considered. The petitioner, therefore, seeks appropriate directions in this regard, in the writ petition.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents.

3. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the second respondent to take a decision on Ext.P11 application with notice to the petitioner, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Ordered accordingly. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition for compliance before the W.P.(C)No.18533 of 2020 3 second respondent. All other issues are left open.
