The petitioners are the residents in Kathrikadavu Desam, Elamkulam Village, Ernakulam District. Their properties are situated near the Pullepadi Railway Bridge and the southern edge of the Thammanam-Pullepadi Road Project. Even though the project was initiated about 30 years back, the same has not materialised till date. Now a revised alignment is proposed, which would diminish the utility of the petitioners' property. Therefore, they have submitted Ext.P1 representation before the 3rd respondent on 3.1.2025, but, no action has been taken on the same. Hence, the writ petition. 3. Heard; the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Senior Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. 4. On a consideration of the facts and the W.P (C) No.8932 of 2025 4 2025:KER:27639 materials on record,without expressing anything on the merits of Ext.P1 representation, I deem it appropriate to direct the 3rd respondent to dispose of Ext.P1 expeditiously. In the said circumstances, I dispose of the writ petition by directing the 3rd respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P1 representation, in accordance with law, and as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within ninety days from the date of production of a copy of this judgment, after affording one among the petitioners an opportunity of being heard. The writ petition is ordered accordingly.
