TO JUDGE VK ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ---------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 28167 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of October, 2011 J U D G M E N T The proceedings challenged in this writ petition arise under the Kerala Land Conservancy Act. Ext.P1 is a notice issued to the petitioner under Rule 11 of the Kerala Land Conservancy Rules, threating of eviction from 4.41 ares of land in Sy.No.168 and 176 of Anjoor Village. He filed an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer and that was dismissed by Ext.P6 order. These orders were challenged in Ext.P7 revision filed before the District Collector. Along with the revision the petitioner has also filed Ext.P7(a) stay petition. These applications are pending and in the meanwhile Ext.P9 notice threatening the petitioner with eviction has been issued. It is in these circumstances this writ petition has been filed. 2. I heard the counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader appearing on behalf of W.P.(C) No. 28167 OF 2011 :2 : the respondents. 3. The statutory revision filed by the petitioner before the first respondent is pending. It is at that stage he is threatened with eviction proceedings, which in my view, is premature. Therefore I dispose of the writ petition with the following directions. 4. That the first respondent will pass orders on Ext.P7 revision, with notice to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible at any rate within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It is also directed that in the meanwhile all further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P9 will be kept in abeyance. Petitioner to produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before respondents 1 and 3 for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ul/-
