MR.P.N.SANTHOSH, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/04/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.11995 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 8th day of April, 2009 J U D G M E N T Challenge in the writ petition is against Ext.P12, an order passed by the District Collector declining the application for assignment of the land made by the petitioner. 2. Going by Rule 21 of the Kerala Land Assignment Rules under Sub Rule 8, a right of revision is available to the Land Revenue Commissioner, and therefore, it is for the petitioner to pursue that remedy. 3. However, having regard to the apprehension of the petitioner that in the meanwhile, the land in his possession is likely to be assigned to strangers, I direct that further proceedings for the assignment of 6.750 cents of land in Sy.No.985 of Cheranelloor Village, be kept in abeyance for a period of six weeks from today. In the meanwhile, it is for the petitioner to pursue the statutory remedy available. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
