JUDGMENT

The petitioner approached the District Collector by Ext.P2 alleging illegal conversion of a residential building as a place of worship and being used it as a church.

This Court is of the view that the District Collector shall take appropriate decision on Ext.P2 after hearing the petitioner as well as the party respondents within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If it is noticed that the party respondents are using the premise as place of worship without permission, it is open for the District Collector to pass any interim order in this matter.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
