JUDGMENT
The above writ petition is filed mainly with a prayer to
issue appropriate direction to the 1st respondent to consider
Ext.P2 representation expeditiously.
2. The petitioner had established a village industrial
unit under the Margin Money Grant Scheme of Kerala Khadi
and Village Industries Board (Rural Employment Generation
Programme of Khadi and Village Industries Commission) in
August 2000 in the field of software and website development.
According to the petitioner, the unit was shifted to a rental
building having close proximity to the National Highway in
ground floor of Thavakkara complex, Kannur. Since the
petitioner faced certain difficulties in payment of rent, the
unit was shifted to building No.453 in ward No.10 of
Kalliasssery Grama Panchayat, which was owned by K.P.Abdul
Samad, s/o Moidu Haji as per a rental agreement executed
21/1/2011. The Village industrial unit is functioning in the
building since 15.2.2011. The 3rd respondent is the present
owner of the building. The grievance of the petitioner is that
as per Ext.P1 letter issued by the 2 nd respondent, the
petitioner is now forced to hand over the vacant possession of
the property including the building legally in occupation of the
petitioner, without providing any opportunity of hearing to the
petitioner. Ext.P1 is addressed to the 3 rd respondent.
Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner submitted Ext.P2
representation before the 1st respondent. The grievance of the
petitioner is that the petitioner will be evicted from the
building, without considering Ext.P2.
3. Heard counsel for the petitioner and the learned
Government Pleader.
4. In the facts and circumstances of this case, no notice
is necessary to the 3 rd respondent, at this stage. According to
me, this writ petition can be disposed directing the 1 st
respondent to consider Ext.P2 representation after giving an
opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and the 3rd despondent.
Therefore, this writ petition is disposed, directing the 1 st
respondent to consider Ext.P2 as expeditiously as possible, at
any rate, within 6 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this
judgment after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner,
the 3rd respondent and other affected parties, if any.
