(C) No. 7411 OF 2008 (G) = = = = = = = = = = == = = = = Dated this the 4th day of March, 2008 J U D G M E N T In these writ petitions, petitioners have made applications under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order which are produced as Exts. P1 and P2 in WPC No. 7427/08, Ext. P1in WPC No. 7390/08 and Ext. P2 in WPC No. 7411/08. These applications are declined to be considered by the 2nd respondent for the reason that the 1st respondent has issued a direction that such requests shall not be considered in view of the pendency of a proposal to introduce a legislation modifying the Land Utilisation Order. In my view, so long as the Land Utilisation Order stands as such without being modified, the 2nd respondent is obliged to consider the applications made under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order and the proposal for introduction a legislation can be of no excuse in this matter. W.P.(C) Nos.7427, 7390 & 7411/08 - 2 - 2. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 2nd respondent shall consider the applications made by the petitioners irrespective of the direction that is issued by the 1st respondent. The applications shall be considered as above, as expeditiously as above, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
