Even though Mr.K.K.Vjayakumar, learned counsel for the petitioner made very fervent submissions before me, I am not persuaded to hold that Ext.P11 is tainted by infirmities to such an extent as to warrant correction in this court's jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution which is visitorial in nature and will be invoked only in exceptional circumstances. I find that in Ext.P11 the learned Munsiff has observed that it is open to the petitioner to adduce evidence during trial and substantiate that all the objections raised by the petitioner to the Commissioner's report are sustainable. In this way the learned Munsiff takes care of the petitioner's interest also and does not have to be aggrieved by the order. The Writ Petition fails and the same will stand dismissed. It is open to the petitioner to cross-examine the Commissioner as effectively as he can W.P.C.No. 4011/05 - 2 - and also to adduce whatever evidence at his command for substantiating his objections against the Commissioner's report. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
