                   Dated this the 11th day of January, 2022

                                 JUDGMENT

The petitioners have been issued with building permits

which are valid till July 2022. They are not permitted to effect

construction. Pending the writ petition, a report has been

filed by the Village Officer, Manjeri wherein it is stated that

even though KLU orders have been issued, there is a lack of

clarity as the survey numbers of the properties of the

petitioners do not match with the survey numbers shown in

the KLU order. The counsel for the petitioners submits that a

mistake has occurred after the lands were acquired for the

purpose of Manjeri Bypass Road. It is submitted that the

petitioners have no other land other than the lands which are

lying adjacent to the bus stand. It is also submitted that they

may be permitted to produce all the necessary documents

before the Village Officer and bring clarity to the issue.

In the above circumstances, the writ petitions are

disposed of permitting the petitioners to approach the Village WP(C) NO. 21300 OF 2020 & WP(C) NO. 21311 OF 2020

Officer with all necessary documents to identify the

properties which belong to them and to convince the Village

Officer that it is the very same property with regard to which

the KLU orders have also been issued. The petitioners may

file necessary representations before the Village Officer

within one week from today. The Village Officer shall

consider the request and take a final decision regarding the

identity of the properties within two weeks therefrom. If it is

ascertained that the properties are the same, then there is

no necessity for any further interference with the petitioners

carrying on the works as per the building permits.
