JUDGMENT

In the light of the ratio laid down in Exts.P3 and P4 judgments, this Court disposes of the writ petition on the same lines applying the ratio laid down in the aforesaid judgments, thereby setting aside Ext.P2.

Consequently, the respondents are directed to consider the petitioners' application for building permission afresh, if necessary, by referring the matter to the District Town Planner, after subjecting the land in question to physical verification, and thereafter pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. sd/- DAMA SESHADRI NAIDU, JUDGE.
