The 4th respondent initiated proceedings under the Revenue Recovery Act through respondents 1 to 3. They have proceeded against the property purchased by the petitioner from the defaulter under Section 44 of the Kerala Revenue Recovery Act.

The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 expeditiously. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 as expeditiously as possible at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 4th respondent.
