This writ petition is filed with following prayers:

2. Petitioner challenged Ext.P8 order directing the petitioner to demolish the compound wall. Aggrieved by Ext.P8, the petitioner filed Ext.P9 representation before the 2nd respondent. According to the petitioner, in the light of Exts.P1 to P3 and Ext.P10 judgment, Ext.P8 will not stand.

There can be a direction to the 2 nd respondent to consider Ext.P9 and all the contentions raised W.P.(C).No.10107/2022 3 by the petitioner in this writ petition can be left open. The interim order already passed can be extended till final orders are passed in Ext.P9.

Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of in the following manner:

1. The 2nd respondent is directed to consider and pass appropriate orders in Ext.P9 in accordance to law, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
2. Till final orders are passed in Ext.P9, all further proceedings consequent to Ext.P8 are set aside.
3. All the contentions raised by the petitioner in this writ petition are left open. All civil remedies of the petitioner are also left open.
