GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH FOR R1 TO 3 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ----------------------- W.P.(C).No.1247 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 6th day of February, 2009. JUDGMENT Petitioner's grievance is that in respect of the property covered by Ext.P1, though he has applied to the 2nd respondent for mutation and for change of tenure in the Thandaper register, orders have not been passed. 2. Referring to Ext.P4 to P9 photographs learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the plot is a fully developed house site. According to him in some ancient documents the land in question has been described as a paddy land and for that reason the respondent is refusing to effect mutation. 3. In my view, irrespective of the description of the land in the revenue records, if an owner makes an application for mutation, there is no reason why orders should not be passed. WP(c).NO.1247/09 /2/ 4. According to the petitioner by Exts.P2 and P3 he has already applied to the 2nd respondent for the above purpose. In view of the case of the petitioner that applications referred to above are pending, I direct the 2nd respondent to consider the same and pass orders and communicate the same to the petitioner. This shall be done as expeditiously possible and at any rate within 4 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
