TO JUDGE PN ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 28321 of 2011 M ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 23rd day of November, 2011 J U D G M E N T ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ According to the petitioner, he and 62 others obtained Ext.P1 order from the Taluk Land Board, Tirur under Section 85(8) of the Kerala Land Reforms Act, 1963, in respect of the property mentioned therein. It is the case of the petitioner that, till 1999, tax in respect of the land has been accepted by the Revenue authorities and that, for no reason whatsoever, the same has been discontinued. He has made Ext.P6 complaint to the third respondent in this behalf and even that remains unattended. It is in these circumstances, the writ petition is filed. 2. Thus, the statutory authority, viz., the third respondent, is seized of the complaint of the petitioner regarding non acceptance of tax in respect of the land covered by Ext.P1 order. Therefore, I direct the third respondent to consider Ext.P6 representation, in the light of W.P.(C) No.28321/2011 : 2 : Ext.P1 order passed by the Taluk Land Board and the fact that tax was being accepted from the petitioner. Orders on Ext.P6 will be passed, at any rate, within four weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
