JUDGMENT

The petitioner has approached this Court, alleging inaction on the part of respondents 1 and 2 in considering Ext.P7 presentation.

2.

The petitioner is an Akshaya project enterprenour having central code No.KL 127. Akshaya center was initially functioning near Parippally junction in Kalluvathukkal Grama Panchayat (Special Grade). The petitioner alleges that she has given employment directly to 4 ladies. The petitioner had shifted the Akshaya center to room No.KP XIII/338 owned by the first respondent and leased out to the fourth respondent with the consent and connivance of the first and second respondents; it is alleged. The petitioner is paying the electricity consumption charges to the Kerala State Electricity Board along with occupants of nearby rooms. Some disputes arose between the occupants regarding the payment of consumption charges of electricity. Hence the petitioner

W.P.(C) No.3053 of 2015 -2submitted Ext.P7 representation to respondents 1 and 2 requesting them to install a separate metre to the room occupied by her. But they did not take any action on Ext.P7. 3.

I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent Panchayath in the matter.

As the limited prayer in this writ petition is for a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P7, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondents 1 and 2 to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P7, after affording the petitioner and the affected parties, if any, an opportunity of being heard. This shall be done within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. To facilitate an early action, it shall be open to the petitioner to produce a copy of the writ petition as well as the copy of this judgment before the respondent 1 and 2 at the earliest.
