JUDGMENT Petitioner submits that he is in possession of 148.75 cents of land in survey Nos.16622 and 16633 of Karunagapally Village. According to the petitioner, the property has been in the possession of him and his ansisters, for more than 6 decades. While the petitioner was thus enjoying the property and the usufructus therein, proceedings were initiated against him, under the Land Conservancy Act to dispossess the petitioner from a portion there of. Finally the petitioner filed an appeal before the Land Revenue Commissioner and that was rejected by Ext.P3 order. Still aggrieved the petitioner filed Ext.P4 revision before the first respondent and that is pending. In this writ petition the petitioner seeks an order to the first respondent for an expeditious disposal of Ext.P4. W.P.(C) No. 53 OF 2008 -2- 2. As according to the petitioner, the land has been in his possession for several years and since his possession is threatened by the proceedings initiated against him, it is only appropriate that the first respondent to dispose of Ext.P4 revision on an expeditious basis. 3. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing that Ext.P4 revision shall be disposed of by the first respondent with notice to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 8 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. In the meantime I direct that it will be open to the petitioner to move the first respondent for getting the necessary interlocutory orders, in which event appropriate orders will be passed without delay.
